ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL RIGHTS IN THE UK 

We launched the Just Fair Consortium which will work to realise a fairer and more just society for everyone in England by monitoring and securing the fundamental human rights to food, housing, social security, education, equality, employment and health. The Consortium will present its monitoring findings to MPs and Peers in Parliament before calling for change at the United Nations in 2015.
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 age 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
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
Established: 13 years
