YOUNG LEADERS ACADEMY

We deliver a leadership development programme for young people which operates in the London Borough of Brent and Lewisham. We design a special curriculum around our young leaders which develops leadership and life skills for them. We offer a range of different experiences from sports to academic and we also offer trips and have a number of guest speakers delivering workshops.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending since inception
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:

Why are there only 4 trustees?
The Board 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
