NEW AVENUES

New Avenues is a charity set up to prevent and relieve homelessness and poverty in Dartford and the surrounding areas by provision of accommodation, advice, information, support, activities, grants, food and other services to individuals in need by reason of poverty, homelessness or deprivation.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board is completely male

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
