YOUNG PEOPLE'S COUNSELLING SERVICE

Provide free, high quality, 1:1 counselling to young people aged 11- 18 in the Peterborough area. Referrals accepted from parents, carers, teachers or directly from young people. We also offer mental health education and early intervention to young people, schools and professionals. We have a base in our first Annabelle Davis Centre (ADC) in Yaxley.

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 and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

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

Established: 30 years
