CHICHESTER AREA MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT FOUNDATION 

We support our beneficiaries, mainly elder people with mental health needs, including dementia, and their carers. Our core project is the Chichester Lunch Club which is modelled on creating normal social interaction through a light lunch and afternoon activities. These lead to cognitive stimulation, development of confidence and increased self esteem and resultant new friendships.

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:
