Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker and there are significant future grants due to be received
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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

£10,000	12/10/2022	Funding support to increase our mentor provision in schools, not only to meet current waiting list demand but also to offer our service to new local schools who do not currently have any mentoring ....more Funding support to increase our mentor provision in schools, not only to meet current waiting list demand but also to offer our service to new local schools who do not currently have any mentoring support. Funding would support: The cost of training new mentors and paying some mentors. All our mentors are professionally supported on a 1:1 monthly basis by a qualified Supervisor from the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy). Our aim is to offer preventative measures in capturing young people's anxieties early, giving them a boost to their self-esteem and a sense of purpose, focus, self-worth and confidence. In this way, we can hopefully prevent the more serious issues arising, alleviating the need for referrals to mental health services, where there are long waiting lists and often involving a lengthy and traumatic recovery period for the young person.
