THE GREENWICH CARERS CENTRE 

We offer a range of services for all adult carers and the people they care for in and around the Royal Borough of Greenwich. Our facilities at The Stables SE7 provide a hub for carers and those needing support; offering respite, advocacy, emotional support, social activities, information and advice. We work with statutory partners to involve carers in strategic and developmental decisions.
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 age

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
Established: 30 years
