    YOUNG PEOPLE CORNWALL 

    Today we support work with 11 -25 year olds through specialist projects and programmes addressing issues that marginalise or place young people at risk, including mental health, homelessness, crime, racism, sexuality, drug & alcohol use, abuse, rural isolation and poverty.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
    • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
    • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

    Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

    • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
    • The Board is predominantly male
    • The Board composition appears to be very static and has little diversity in terms of age
    Established: 35 years
