CANTERBURY UMBRELLA

Supplying facilities for recreation, education, refreshment, companionship and general care for people with mental or physical disability, sickness or disorder.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of 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
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
