E:MERGE (UK) LIMITED 

A charity with a Christian ethos undertaking youth work for over 20 years in the most segregated, deprived and broken wards in Bradford and in other parts of the UK. Our goal is to operate to reach the most marginalized and enable them to become part of a community within which they can thrive, develop and realise their potential. We work with young people, at home, in school and on the streets.
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 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
Established: 11 years
(19 years as a company)
