OFFERING FREE ADVICE, VISITING PRISONERS, PROVIDING TRANSPORT FOR FAMILIES TO VISIT THEIR INCARCERATED RELATIVES, PROVIDING TRANSLATORS AND HELPING TO MAINTAIN THE CONTACT BETWEEN PERSONS LEGALLY DEPRIVED OF THEIR LIBERTY AND THEIR FAMILIES AND DEPENDANTS
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

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