EDEN PLACE

Our mission is to improve the quality of life available to disadvantaged people in Teesside. We value integration and community cohesion a great deal. We provide services that bring people together. We advocate for social inclusion of refugees, asylum seekers, migrants and ethnic minorities who are excluded due to their social and economic position. We promote equality.

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is completely male
The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:
