PRESTON DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SERVICES

THE PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES ARE PROVIDING WOMEN WHO ARE EXPERIENCING OR HAVE EXPERIENCED DOMESTIC VIOLENCE / SEXUAL VIOLENCE WITH A RANGE OF QUALITY SERVICES TO SUPPORT THEM AND THEIR CHILDREN. THIS WILL ENABLE THEM TO MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS ABOUT THEIR FUTURE. SUPPORT IS ALSO PROVIDED TO MALE VICTIMS. THE ORGANISATION ALSO CAMPAIGNS AND RAISES AWARENESS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE / SEXUAL VIOLENCE.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is completely female
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

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