Addressing barriers to learning in the most vulnerable children from age 2 onwards through training and one to one support. The charity also provides enrichment activities in the areas of music and the arts.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
