ELLINGHAM EMPLOYMENT SERVICES

To provide accredited and/or vocational preparation courses to people with disbilities and to assist them to find, and maintain, employment placements in the Greater London area, with or without support from ourselves.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
  • 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 age

Financial issues to consider:

  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
