MEDIATION PLUS 

Mediation Plus provides conflict resolution services to those living in East Sussex and elsewhere, to reduce the impact conflict has on individuals, families and communities. This is achieved using restorative approaches, primarily mediation, one to one support and training. Our services are independent, impartial and non judgmental and participation is voluntary.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • This Charity has changed registration and some of the financial and donation history pertains to the previous entity
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • This charity appears to be dormant
