ONLY A PAVEMENT AWAY CIO 

Mission:

To act as the conduit to help those who find themselves vulnerable and/or disadvantaged and are therefore struggling to get into work
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There has been strong growth in spending since inception
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • There are 13 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12
  • 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

Employment Programme

Objectives: To act as an effective conduit between hospitality employers and charities working with those facing disadvantage and find them jobs within the hospitality, pub and restaurant industry

Beneficiaries: People facing homelessness, prison leavers and veterans, and those facing disadvantage as a barrier to employment

Description: Only A Pavement Away offers career opportunities within the hospitality industry,
facilitates training and development programmes to create capability for work and offers financial support to overcome the barriers to employment including support with rent and other costs which may hinder stability. Outside of the moral benefits, the project is underpinned by a strong commercial and financial benefit to the hospitality, pub and restaurant industry whilst reducing the ever-increasing strain on government funding required for those who find themselves in such extreme and vulnerable circumstances
