KARIS NEIGHBOUR SCHEME

KARIS NEIGHBOUR SCHEME SEEKS TO OFFER PRACTICAL SUPPORT, FRIENDSHIP AND ADVOCACY IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY THROUGH VOLUNTEERS AND STAFF. WE AIM TO PROMOTE COMMUNITY LINKS AND ADDRESS NEEDS UNMET BY OTHER ORGANISATIONS.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • 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 and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

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