Vision:The Care Collective wants to ensure unpaid carers are looking after themselves, enjoying their life and achieving their goals, whilst helping a family member or friend to receive empowering care or support.
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 age and gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
  • Returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
  • Income was lower than spending in the latest year
