UNITE - CARERS IN MID DEVON

To promote any charitable purpose for the benefit of unpaid carers who look after someone who depends on them, in the Mid Devon area, by the advancement of education, the protection of health and the relief of poverty, sickness and distress.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly female
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
