HEADWAY SOUTH BUCKS 

The rehabilitation and care of persons who have suffered brain injuries and who reside in South Buckinghamshire and adjoining counties through the provision of such services and facilities as are required from time to time for the rehabilitation and relief of such persons.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 4 trustees
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

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