SPRINGFIELD DOMESTIC ABUSE SUPPORT IN SOUTH LAKELAND

Based in South Cumbria, we have a highly skilled and dedicated team who provide a range of services and tailored support to clients who are affected by all types domestic abuse. This is through either the community hub or our refuge accommodation, specifically for women who are potentially homeless because they are a high risk victim of domestic abuse.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there only 4 trustees?
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appeared to be in excess of CC guidelines at the latest year end but this has been generated by an income surplus in the latest year and spending has been increasing rapidly
