YOUR EMPLOYMENT SETTLEMENT SERVICE

Providing low cost employment law advice with the aim of resolving disputes between employers and employees without recourse to litigation. We do this through advice, mediation, and the dissemination of easily accessible factsheets and information about employment law.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 4 trustees
The Board composition appears to be very static and has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income was lower than spending in the latest year

Established: 10 years
