FRESH START FUTURE ENTERPRISES LIMITED

Fresh Start are a 'Lived Experience' Mentoring & Advocacy service that specifically support individuals who have been through the criminal justice system, we work with prisoners on release from custody, who are in open prisons and people who have been given community orders. We offer support to individuals in Norfolk and Suffolk

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why is the Board completely female?
Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 3 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

Income was 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
