CITIZENS ADVICE CHEADLE 

To provide a free independent, confidential advice and information service with the twin aims of the Citizens Advice Service, which are to provide the advice people need for the problems they face and to improve the policies and practices that affect peoples lives.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • Income has been volatile recently
