Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
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:

The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data

Established: 8 years
(12 years as a company)

This application is to support the continuation of their popular after school study groups, which successfully moved online during the 2020 lockdown and now plans to continue permanently as an online-only offer. The project is jointly funded and will provide 4 hours a week (2 blocks of 2 hours) of literacy, numeracy and science study groups for 120 children from low-income families (aged mainly 8 to 11) during term time. Each group of approximately 30 children is supported by 3 members of staff and a volunteer (ex-service user) mentor, with additional family work completed by an Outreach worker to ensure the offer is accessible to the families who need it most and to support with attendance.
