It runs projects to help disadvantaged, vulnerable people play a fuller role in the community through improved life choices and chances, and social and community involvement.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
