EMMAUS SOUTH WALES 

PROVIDING HOMELESS AND UNEMPLOYED PEOPLE WITH THE SECURITY AND COMPANIONSHIP OF LIVING IN A COMMUNITY HOME, THE DIGNITY OF WORKING FOR THE COMMUNITY AND FOR OTHER DISADVANTAGED PEOPLE, AND THE CHANCE OF RECOVERING THE ABILITY TO LIVE A SUCCESSFUL, INDEPENDENT LIFE OUTSIDE THE COMMUNITY SHOULD THEY CHOOSE TO DO SO. IT HAS SET UP A SOCIAL ENTERPRISE TO FUND THE COMMUNITY AND CREATE EMPLOYMENT.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 14 years
