WOMEN ON THE FRONTLINE MINISTRIES 

We reach out to women trapped in a lifestyle of prostitution/sexual exploitation at known places of activity at night, giving out hot drinks, gift bags, a listening ear, advising them of day drop-in. The drop-in is a safe haven where one to one support, programmes that help build self-esteem, advice on benefits, housing, debt, other services are given to help them rebuild a purposeful life.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

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