UP 'N AWAY

Activity projects for young people
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • Why are there only 3 trustees?
  • Why is the Board composition very static and has little diversity in terms of age?

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
