RE:CHARGE R&R

Re:Charge R&R provides drop-in sessions for vulnerable families at three different locations within Maidenhead and a fourth session to support vulnerable adults including those recovering from addictions. These provide support, including from the local food bank, signposting to services available and some training.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly female

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
