NEWWAY PROJECT

NEWway Project was set up in 2013 in order to support the rising numbers of homeless people in the London Borough of Newham. Our team works alongside specialist support agencies, local churches and hundreds of local volunteers to provide three core services: NEWdawn - a winter night shelter, NEWday - year round daytime support services, and NEWlife - gardening workshops for local rough sleepers.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There have been no material 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 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
There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
Income was lower than spending in the latest year
