KINERGY 

At Kinergy we understand how sexual abuse and rape can affect all areas of a person's life. Kinergy offers a specialist counselling service for survivors of sexual abuse and rape aged 18 years and over.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent 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

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Established: 21 years
