GET YOUR LIFE BACK!

GetYourLifeBack! supports people with mental health issues, hormonal problems and those who are socially isolated and excluded through 1:1 mindfulness-based therapy, group work and outdoor activities such as gardening, woodwork and art and craft. We connect people with people reducing loneliness and reconnect people with nature providing emotional, psychological and physical support naturally.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Why are there only 2 trustees?
  • Why is the Board composition very static?

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
