EASTBOURNE NETWORX 

Eastbourne Networx welcomes and supports refugees and immigrants in Eastbourne and the nearby locality, with no or little recourse to public funds. We are a voice for the individuals and families, supporting them at different agencies as required. Networx also supports families rehoused in the town on the Government Resettlement Programme.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been 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
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
