3 PILLARS PROJECT CIO

3Pillars Project works to prevent ex-offenders and young people vulnerable to crime from social exclusion and assists them to rehabilitate and integrate back into society. Through sports based mentoring, in custody and the community, we strive to transform the long term employment prospects of ex-prisoners, through structured apprenticeship programmes, paid work and support to gain qualifications.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending since inception
  • There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be 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
