CORNWALL MIND

We support the people of Cornwall who are struggling with mental health difficulties. We offer a range of well-being activities to encourage those people with mental health difficulties to become more involved in their local communities. The activities range from yoga, physical activity, community cafes, advice and guidance.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending since inception
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • Fundraising costs are low relative to funds raised
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return

Financial issues to consider:

  • Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
