Providing settlement and integration support services for newcomers to the UK that have chosen to work or settle in Great Yarmouth, Lowestoft, Ipswich and the surrounding areas. This is achieved by offering advocacy/advice/information services via a team of support workers.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • 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
