The organisation will support individuals to effectively contribute to policies and decisions that affect themthrough delivering workshops, training and advocacy and other forms of support to both beneficiaries andthose who may have contact with them.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers 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:

  • Income 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
