NEXT STEP FOUNDATION

Our aim is to advance education for the public benefit by delivering courses to students living in the UK who come from underprivileged backgrounds in order to help them make successful applications to undergraduate programmes at UK universities.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why is the Board completely male?

Financial issues to consider:

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