BEXLEY CROSSROADS CARE LIMITED

CROSSROADS CARE SOUTH EAST LONDON is a not for profit voluntary organisation providing a diverse range of quality community based services to carers of children/young people/ adults/older people to have a break from their caring responsibilities. The support is provided in their own home. People who wish to self fund or are in receipt of D/Payments can also purchase services from us.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Fundraising costs are unusually 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 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:

  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • Income has been volatile recently but spending has been maintained
