CHISWICK MONEY ADVICE CENTRE 

Chiswick Money Advice Centre (CMAC) is an independent, community-focused charity working to alleviate poverty through the provision of comprehensive debt advice and accessible financial education. Our vision is centred on the whole person, meeting them at their point of need, and walking the journey with them until they get back on their feet. CMAC works in partnership with Crosslight Advice.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • 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
