WINNER THE PRESTON ROAD WOMENS CENTRE LTD

WINNER aka Preston Road Women's Centre. Empowering women and girls through integrated services and safe housing in Hull.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 3 trustees?
  • Why is the Board completely female?
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
