DERBYSHIRE POSITIVE SUPPORT

We are a health and well-being charity whose aim is to promote the physical and emotional health of people in the city of Derby and Derbyshire County living with HIV and other long term health conditions.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
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
