NOA GIRLS 

The charity supports and works one to one with young girls at risk creating a care plan for each of them which includes a key worker, mentor and, in many cases, therapy.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
  • Reserves management has been consistently within official guidelines
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
Established: 15 years
