PETERBOROUGH WOMEN'S AID 

Provide safe temporary accommodation for women and children fleeing domestic abuse. Provide an Outreach Service whose objectives are to give advice and support to victims/survivors of domestic abuse
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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
  • The Board appears to be 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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 4 years and the current period appears to have been extended
Established: 6 years
