PROTECTION APPROACHES

PROTECTION APPROACHES IS A HUMAN RIGHTS CHARITY WORKING TO TACKLE ALL FORMS OF IDENTITY-BASED VIOLENCE, FROM HATE CRIME TO VIOLENT EXTREMISM AND GENOCIDE. THROUGH RESEARCH, CAMPAIGNS, EDUCATION, AND GRASSROOTS ENGAGEMENT WE BUILD UNDERSTANDING OF HOW TO END SUCH VIOLENCE IN THE UK AND GLOBALLY.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
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 dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end

Established: 7 years
(9 years as a company)
