BASECAMP ADVENTURE TRUST

Basecamp works with young people who are suffering disadvantage or require additional support in order to build greater self-belief and resilience, enabling them to better thrive and fulfil their potential. Working in partnership with schools, we provide a unique 1 year programme combining outdoor adventure, personal development and compassionate coaching.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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