NORTH WALES WOMEN'S CENTRE 

The NWWC provides a safe place for women to access information, support, advocacy and training on issues relating to health, wellbeing, and work. We also provide an outreach service to women across Denbighshire and North Wales.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender
  • This charity is based in an area of extremely high deprivation

Financial issues to consider:

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