THE LITERACY HUBS

The Literacy Hubs help communities across Portsmouth gain the literacy skills they need to thrive

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 several prominent grant makers including the Government recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

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