CATCHINGLIVES

The charity's mission is to provide a high quality, professionally-run service, utilising the skills of staff and volunteers to progress people out of the trap of destitution swiftly, comprehensively and lastingly; to promote the relief of poverty, sickness and distress among persons in need, including those not catered for by existing statutory or voluntary services within the United Kingdom.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
