ICENI IPSWICH 

The charity offers care and support to families affected by substance misuse (including victims of domestic violence), provides help to enable children to fulfil their potential and to reduce the number of children taken into care, and promotes awareness within the community and beyond to highlight these issues. The charity also works with those that cause harm within the family.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and a Community Foundation
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board 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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 12 years
