Who Funds Us

New Dawn New Day strives to deliver the greatest social impact in a sustainable and responsible way. We rely on funding from a range of sources including charitable trusts, police and probation services and local government as well as income from donations, client contributions and training events.

We currently receive funding from…

Ministry Of Justice

Our Just Women project is funded by the Ministry of Justice. We deliver this in partnership with national charity Changing Lives and the Women’s Specialist Team at the National Probation Service. 

The Ministry Of Justice also funds some of our core services as well as funding  Reach Out, our intensive support service for women who face additional barriers to accessing support and completing their orders. 

Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner

We work in partnership with our local Police and Crime Commissioner to divert women away from offending offering a specialist Out of Court Resolution for women who are arrested in Leicestershire. 

Our Approach to Funding

We seek to secure the maximum investment in our services from a diverse range of sources to ensure that we are not over-reliant on a single source of funding.

We also aim to generate income from trading activities such as selling products and services as well as raising funds from donations and fundraising events.

How the Money is Spent

New Dawn New Day’s services are people focused and rely on a team of staff and volunteers to work directly with our clients. Therefore the greatest portion of expenditure is on staff and volunteer costs. We have 15 full and part time paid staff, 3 volunteers and 4 Trustees. The second highest expenditure is our premises costs which include everything from rent and utilities to cleaning, repairs and maintenance. Our premises offer a range of one-to-one consultation rooms and group activity spaces as well as office space for staff and volunteers.

Each year we submit our accounts and annual report to the Charity Commission which is availble to the public.
