THE ROYAL BOROUGH OF KINGSTON UPON THAMES CITIZENS ADVICE BUREAUX SERVICE

Provision of advice services

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 including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

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