STEPS 2 RECOVERY

Steps2Recovery aims to improve the lives of people in the criminal justice system affected by alcohol or drug dependency, providing high quality, abstinence-based treatment options and housing, health and family support. Based in Hackney, we support clients to improve the quality of their lives and to fulfil their potential without recourse to alcohol, drugs and re-offending.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been reasonable growth in spending 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 and there are significant future grants due to be received
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
