YOUNG WOMEN'S HOUSING PROJECT

The YWHP is a project for young women aged 16 to 25 who have been affected by sexual abuse, sexual exploitation and sexual/domestic violence. We provide safe places to live and specialist therapeutic support to help young women to overcome the effects of abuse, get on with living their lives, and enjoy their futures.
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
  • Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why is the Board completely female?
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age
