THE ENTHUM FOUNDATION 

Our mission is to manage Enthum House, a specialist-supported accommodation for unaccompanied asylum-seeking children (UASC) affected by complex trauma aged 16-18 in East Sussex. We offer person-centred therapeutic, vocational, legal support and community integration to empower its young people to rebuild their lives, explore their individual potential and contribute positively to society.

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and a Community Foundation
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
