INDEPENDENT NEWHAM USER'S FORUM (MENTAL HEALTH) 

TO SUPPORT PEOPLE WITH MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS IN EAST LONDON
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly female
  • The Board composition appears to be very static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
