ASPYRE AFRICA

Aspyre Africa provides vulnerable young people access to vocational training which reflects local labour market demands. Their current projects are in Senegal.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year

Established: 8 years
