DUEEAST BRIGHTON

Operating in the estates of Whitehawk, Manor Farm, and the Bristol Estate in Brighton and Hove. DueEast continues the work of the Neighbourhood Governance pilot promoting local decision making by local people. This is a resident led organisation that promotes its area of operation, tackles exclusion, and maximises resources available to the area
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly female
  • Returns have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
