CLEAN SHEET

Clean Sheet is a Christian charity supporting former prisoners into sustainable employment, education or training to help break the cycle of re-offending. Sustainable employment provides dignity and resources for independent living which changes lives for good.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 4 trustees
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: 11 years
