TRANSFORM JUSTICE 

Transform Justice has published and disseminated reports, tweets and blog posts on aspects of the justice system (the structure & administration of the courts, the funding of the criminal justice system), researched and published recommendations on more effective recruitment of the judiciary and raised awareness of human rights issues through analysing the barriers to appealing criminal sentences.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • 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 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
  • Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
Established: 11 years
