THE LEICESTER COUNSELLING CENTRE

Individual counselling for adults, aged 18 years and over, who are experiencing mental health, social and emotional difficulties that effect their everyday life. Service open to individuals across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
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 dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
The Board is predominantly female
The Board has little diversity in terms of age
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
