SANDS CYMRU (HARM REDUCTION) LTD

The Charity is a community based agency which exists to provide specialist confidential help and support to drug and alcohol users in Wales:- To help them live healthier lives;- To minimise physical, psychological, social and legal problems related to drug and alcohol use

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity is based in an area of high deprivation

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 2 trustees
The Board is completely female
The Board composition appears to be very static and 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
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
