NOTTINGHAM CENTRAL WOMENS AID

Nottingham Central Womens Aid aims to promote the protection of Women and children who have experienced or are experiencing domestic abuse. We provide safe temporary accomodation on request to women and their children who are fleeing domestic violence.
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 and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why is the Board completely female?
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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