WANSTEAD AND WOODFORD MIGRANT SUPPORT

WWMS exists to relieve poverty among vulnerable migrants, including refugees, asylum seekers, migrant workers and their dependants living in the London Borough of Redbridge, neighbouring boroughs and Essex through the provision of advocacy, advice and support services. Our main focus is the provision of immigration advice. We also provide a general information and signposting service.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

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

Established: 7 years
