AGENDA CIO 

Agenda works to ensure that women & girls at risk of abuse, poverty, poor mental health, addiction and homelessness get support and protection; campaigns for systems to be transformed; raises awareness across sectors; and promotes public understanding. We do this through research and making and supporting the implementation of proposals designed to improve provision.
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
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition
