CHARITYWORKS

Charityworks provides development programmes designed to (a) find and grow the future leaders of not for profit organisations; (b) bring young people from underrepresented backgrounds into the not for profit sector; and (c) other ways to make the sector more more inclusive and more diverse

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
This charity only provides its support via other charities
Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end

Established: 14 years
