THE SAM WEST FOUNDATION 

The objective of the Sam West Foundation is to promote awareness, diagnosis and treatment of mental health issues affecting children, young adults and their families.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 4 trustees
  • 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
  • Income has been volatile recently
