NORTHAMPTONSHIRE RIGHTS AND EQUALITY COUNCIL

Northamptonshire REC's vision is to promote a socially cohesive society in which diversity is recognised, celebrated and valued. We believe in social justice in Northamptonshire and support individuals who are victims of injustice.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • 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 gender

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
