POLLY FOR WOMEN CIO

There is a gap in support available to women and girls in the UK who have reached a crisis point or who are suffering emotional or mental health issues. We want to fill that gap by establishing a free confidential helpline, staffed by women, which will serve as a first port of call for support for women and girls from age 11, or secondary school (Year 7) onwards.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why is the Board completely female?

Financial issues to consider:

Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
