RECLAIM PROJECT LTD 

RECLAIM is a leadership and social change organisation creating a Britain where working class young people are positively seen, authentically heard and leading meaningful change. We run leadership programmes, support young people's campaigns for change and work with organisations looking to be more inclusive of working class talent. We're based in Manchester but our work reaches across the country
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 13 years
