CARE RIGHTS UK: YOUR CARE CHAMPION 

Care Rights UK is your care champion, the charity focused on defending the rights of people in care. We want people to know their rights and how to use them. We offer information, advice and support to empower people using care services, and their relatives and friends. As a community of families and experts, we challenge poor, highlight good practice and demand a better system.
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 including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender 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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
