KEYRING-LIVING SUPPORT NETWORKS

KeyRing supports OVER 1500 vulnerable adults to build skills and networks needed to live independently in their own homes each year. Within the KeyRing Networks, mutual support, community engagement and social connections are facilitated by our volunteers and staff. Other activities include Ancora helping 1400 people in hardship in Oldham and the North Yorkshire Advocacy Service.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has a robust balance sheet
Fundraising costs are low relative to funds raised
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why is the Board completely male?

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appeared to be in excess of CC guidelines at the latest year end
