RAY SMITH'S CARERS (POOLE) 

Provision of support to young and adult carers living in Poole. Support includes organising and funding activities that provide breaks to carers and providing financial assistance to individuals to enable them to have breaks.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
