Provide activities which benefit the community and in particular to provide diversionary activities for disadvantaged young people living in the inner city of London. The company aims to reach those young people who do not normally have access to high quality coaching programmes. Young people will benefit from positive role models and the opportunity

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There has been strong growth in spending since inception

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
Returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 4 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
