THE C.R.U.M.B.S. PROJECT

Crumbs, has the objective of providing education and social inclusion for adults with learning disabilities and long term mental health issues. This is through our professionally recognised two year hospitality & catering vocational training programme that provides professional, social and personal skills development to support the trainees into employment and independent living.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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 and there are significant future grants due to be received
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

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
(13 years as a company)
