THE SEA CHANGE TRUST

Our vision is a world where the emotional and psychological needs of children and young people can be met through early interventions in the local community. We will provide young parents/carers and their children or infants, and young adults, with the best psychotherapeutic support whatever their financial means, background or status.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending since inception
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received
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
