AFFORDABLE JUSTICE LTD

A not for profit Family Law firm aimed at offering reasonably priced family law services to women fleeing violence and abuse who require legal advice and representation.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received backing from a grant maker
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there only 3 trustees?
Why is the Board completely female?
Why is the Board composition very static and has little diversity in terms of age?

Financial issues to consider:

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