CITIZENS ADVICE CUMBRIA 

Enabling cooperative actions in obtaining contracts covering the whole county, and subsequently cordinating their delivery by some or all of the seven separate CA bureaux acting as sub-contractors
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received income from Government contracts
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile recently
