PANDORA PROJECT 

Pandora Project supports women and children affected by domestic abuse, current or historic, in West Norfolk and North Norfolk. We offer 1-1 support and group programmes to support women to recover from the trauma of abuse. We also run a separate project supporting female indoor sex workers at risk of trafficking and/or exploitation.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no 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 dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely female

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: 9 years
