MINDFULNESS IN SCHOOLS PROJECT

MiSP's programme is a toolkit that builds resilience & coping mechanisms for children & young people, whatever adversities they face. It teaches mindfulness as a life skill that they will use into adulthood, enabling them to flourish & be at their best. This allows the schools we work with to educate the whole child & build strong foundations in mental health that prepare them for the future
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received 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 gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive benefits from the charity

Financial issues to consider:

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