HEREFORDSHIRE MIND

We want a better life for people with experience of mental distress so they can live full lives and play their part in society. We work with people in a variety of ways and settings to help overcome barriers to engaging in the community and to encourage them to move forward to achieving their potential and aspirations.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board has little diversity in terms of age
