WELSH CENTRE FOR ACTION ON DEPENDENCY AND ADDICTION LTD

The charity provides a holistic, person centred service for individuals of all ages affected by alcohol, drugs or other substances, including those in the criminal justice system, with the ultimate aim of improving lives and nurturing potential. The charity also provides education and training on substance misuse and related topics.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • This charity is based in an area of high deprivation

Financial issues to consider:

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