MANCHESTER MIND

The Charity works with people to alleviate the impact of poor mental health. To do this we provide: advice services, peer support, food related activities including an allotment. We provide training to adults and young people and a children and young people's service which offers advice, peer support and counselling. We work in partnership to improve our delivery
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • Fundraising costs are low relative to funds raised
  • 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 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:

  • Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
