STRENGTH & STEM LTD

We exist to train and support women who have survived human trafficking. We do this through the provision of holistic training programs that incorporate vocational floristry training, supplementary skills training, mentorship and work experience. We also support other charities in the UK that work with and support women affected by human trafficking.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There has been strong growth in spending since inception

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there only 4 trustees?
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
