EMMAUS COLCHESTER

Our principal activity is "Giving people a bed and a reason to get out of it".

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £1,587,019 available, equivalent to 29 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding

Established: 25 years
