THE BRIDGING PROJECT

The Bridging Project provides coaching and support to under represented undergraduates during their time at university. We partner with universities across the UK and deliver a year long programme, led by leadership coaches to help students succeed during their time at university and beyond.
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 recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and 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
