BRAMBER BAKEHOUSE

Bramber Bakehouse supports female survivors of abuse, exploitation and displacement. Our holistic, trauma-informed, person-centred programme offers baking and wellbeing sessions. Women learn new skills and are supported to engage with their community and society. Life skills, graduate opportunities and employability pathways reduce the risk of abuse and exploitation and increases positive choices.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
There has been strong growth in spending since inception
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

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
There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
