ESCAPING VICTIMHOOD

We run residential, experiential workshops for those who have been affected by serious crime so that they can begin to place their experience into the context of their lives and be able to choose to restore past roles and relationships. Through this work we hope to inform other groups and agencies about the potential to meet the unmet needs of victims of serious crimes.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board composition appears to be rather static and has little diversity 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
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
