AFTER UMBRAGE 

After Umbrage is a charity dedicated to providing free, short breaks for anyone who has been looking after terminally ill family members or loved ones. The pressure associated with caring can be overwhelming. After Umbrage provides a chance for carers to take a little well-needed (and well-deserved) time for themselves, to relax and unwind in idyllic surroundings.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

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
