HECTOR'S HOUSE

To help prevent suicide, by making it easier to recognise the symptoms which may lead to suicide and to help people find the appropriate resources to improve their mental wellbeing. Using education, partnership working and the support of mental health professionals, we promote suicide prevention and good mental health practices. To reduce the stigma of talking about mental health.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board composition appears to be rather 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
