BOUND BY VETERANS 

Supports wounded, injured and sick Veterans through therapy and training in craft bookbinding, awarding City & Guilds qualifications and providing work experience and employment opportunities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker
  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
Established: 11 years
