BLACK AND BLUE CHARITABLE COMPANY

The main activities are focused on the relief of hardship for victims of domestic abuse, violence, trafficking, stalking, HBV and hate crime or crimes of sexual violence through supporting partner charities and agencies to help people at high risk to get to safety or stay safe. We also aim to educate about non-violence aiming messages at a wide audience through social media.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board composition appears to be very static

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 has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
