SALFORD WOMEN'S AID

SWA's objective and principle activity centres on the provision of temporary accommodation for women and children escaping domestic abuse. This is achieved operationally via the two refuges one of which has disabled access and both have dedicated play areas for the children. In total there are 14 bedrooms across the two sites. Families have there own bedrooms but share all the other facilities.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Reserves management has been consistently within official guidelines
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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why is the Board completely female?

Financial issues to consider:

Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
