NUMBER 11

Number 11 is a lifeline for individuals in our community struggling with a variety of issues, from difficulties with debt and benefits through to isolation, unemployment, bereavement or mental illness. Our focus is on a person centred sustainable approach. Number 11 is a family, so in addition to our workshops or one-to-one support we emphasise eating, playing, laughing and doing life together.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending since inception
  • 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 well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
