IPSWICH AND SUFFOLK COUNCIL FOR RACIAL EQUALITY 

ISCRE provides advice, advocacy and support to individuals and families who experience race discrimination and harassment in areas of education, criminal justice system and supporting communities.
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

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 28 years
