GASP MOTOR PROJECT 

GASP Motor Project is an alternative learning facility that helps mainly 14 - 19 young people achieve and contribute their best. Disadvantaged and under-achieving under 25s in and around Surrey can learn basic motor mechanics and practical engineering skills . It helps to tackle anti-social and offending behaviours, engenders responsibilty and teamwork, and improves confidence and self-esteem.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:
