FRIARY DROP-IN LIMITED

The Friary delivers advice, health and support services which help empower local vulnerable unemployed adults to rebuild their lives. We offer a variety of services under one roof so as to help address the complex needs represented within our client base. These services include a GP surgery, drugs counselling, welfare rights advice, clothing and food provision and IT literacy training.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
