WARWICKSHIRE YOUNG CARERS

Provision of information, advice and support to people who care for a family member, friend or neighbour with a long-term illness or disability.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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 gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • The latest accounts were qualified
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
