SAMARITANS OF IPSWICH AND EAST SUFFOLK

We offer emotional support by telephone, email and face-to-face to people of all ages, regardless of gender, race or religion, both at our Centre and out in the community.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received Government grants
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

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