JEM (JOBSEARCH-EMPLOYMENT-MENTORING) 

JEM is a community based organisation which provides a free rolling programme of employability and skills workshops aimed at equipping and preparing individuals, aged 19 years and over living in the Normanton and Arboretum districts of Derby, to enter or re-enter the labour market, voluntary work or further education. Our approach focuses on confidence building and raising self-esteem.
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 and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

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: 10 years
