VITA NOVA

Issue based education for young people / general public (Drugs, Alcohol, Antisocial behaviour, Bullying, Equality & Diversity, Domestic Violence etc.) through workshops and drama.Support, training and signposting for those recovering from addiction to drugs and alcohol increasing self esteem, confidence and skills.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
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 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
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
