YOUNG PEOPLE'S COUNSELLING SERVICE

TO PROMOTE, PRESERVE AND PROTECT THE MENTAL HEALTH OF THE PUBLIC, IN PARTICULAR BUT NOT EXCLUSIVELY OF CHILDREN, YOUNG PEOPLE AND THEIR FAMILIES.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
