NIWE EATING DISTRESS SERVICE TRADING AS EATING DISTRESS NORTH EAST

EDNE provides support to people in the North East of England affected by eating disorders/eating distress, who use food in ways which are problematic to them. We provide a safe, non-judgemental environment in which people can begin to move beyond a concentration on their symptoms to address the underlying issues which cause them to use food/food-related behaviours to manage their situation.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly female
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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

Established: 11 years
