GO! (GREAT OPPORTUNITIES) TOGETHER

THIS CHARITY IS CLOSED: Go! Provided activities for young people and short break activities for children. We worked with all young people and particularly those with additional needs. We offered experiences in art, music, theatre, travel, and a range of work experience. Our work is primarily in the south of England

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 2 trustees
The Board is completely female
The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period

Established: 9 years
