NELSON'S JOURNEY

Nelson's Journey provides a therapeutic service for children and young people up to the age of 17 years (inclusive) living in Norfolk who have experienced the death of a significant person. We carry out 1:1 work, training for professionals, information and support for families, and deliver group activities for children and young people including therapeutic weekends and activity days

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Financial issues to consider:

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

Established: 7 years
