RENEWAL NORTH WEST

Renewal North West is a Christian charity set up to help the long term unemployed break down barriers that stop them from gaining employment such as addiction, homelessness, lack of education and opportunity. We provide work experience and skills development as well as accommodation enabling people to rebuild their lives. We also provide low cost household items to those who need them.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
More than half of total income was derived from trading and fees in the latest year
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 well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly male
The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appeared to be in excess of CC guidelines at the latest year end especially considering the historic stability of income
Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
