SHINE YOUTH

We provide 1:1 pastoral mentoring, group courses and a Wellbeing Cafe for young people which promote their positive self-esteem, mental health and identity in order that they can thrive educationally and in family, community and work life. This includes young people who are coping with loss experienced as a result of bereavement and family breakdown and those who are at risk of school exclusion.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
Why are there only 3 trustees?
Why is the Board completely female?

Financial issues to consider:

There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
