YORKSHIRE MEDIATION SERVICES

Yorkshire Mediation Services provides mediation and conflict resolution services across Yorkshire and Humberside. Our core work is neighbour dispute mediation but we also carry out workplace mediation, peer mediation and training in communication and conflict handling skills.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board composition appears to be very static

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile recently
