THE INSPIRE AND ACHIEVE FOUNDATION 

IAF inspire young people to work towards a positive future by providing activities that improve their approach, attitude & behaviours towards education, employment and volunteering. We deliver outreach projects and workshops in partnership with colleges, charities, and employment support agencies, and provide basic IAG so young people can find the help and support they need to progress.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has an endowment fund which generates most of its income
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 4 trustees

Financial issues to consider:

  • There was a deficit on unrestricted reserves of £33,128 at the last year end after deducting the value of own use assets
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
Established: 15 years
