NORTH EAST LINCOLNSHIRE WOMEN'S AID 

The charity has the general aim of improving the lives and safety of women, men and children particularly those affected by domestic abuse.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • 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:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £2,755,459 available, equivalent to 30 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
