PRESS RED

Educating the public and churches about worldwide violence against women, and empowering and enabling them to make a difference.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

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 was significantly lower than spending in the latest year

Objectives

(1) The objects of the CIO are, for the public benefit and specifically restricted to the following:-(a) To advance the education of the public, in particular but not exclusively by raising public awareness of sexual abuse, spiritual abuse both physically and mentally, female genital mutilation, modern day slavery and any other form of abuse against the female gender. In doing so we also aim to both assist the Christian church locally and further afield through appropriate education and support to become a beacon of hope and sanctuary, and to provide such education in such other matters at other institutions, secular and Christian.(b) For such other exclusively charitable purposes as the trustees in their absolute discretion may determine from time to time.
