THE ROYAL SURGICAL AID SOCIETY

Dementia Carers Count is the working name for The Royal Surgical Aid Society. We provide space for family carers of people with dementia to inspire them to learn, connect and receive practical support to feel empowered in their caring role. We invest in research to understand family carers? experiences, needs and desired outcomes, and campaign to improve the support they receive.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received income from Government contracts
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and 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
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
