WE STAND WITH FAMILIES

Originally established in 1992 Mosac supports non-abusing parents and carers of sexually abused children through a range of services including telephone helpline, information, advice, advocacy, support groups, counselling and play therapy.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • 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
  • Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
