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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
There are only 3 trustees
The Board composition appears to be very static and has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile recently

Specific Donations

Amount	When Months	To be used for
Cheshire Community Foundation - Services for Carers and Family members affected by addiction
£3,500	18/10/2021	ASCA provides advice and information, assessments, counselling, group support and wellbeing services services to those with issues related to addiction as well as their carers, family members and ....more ASCA provides advice and information, assessments, counselling, group support and wellbeing services services to those with issues related to addiction as well as their carers, family members and friends. We are requesting support towards helping us to deliver advice and information, assessment, one to one counselling, health wellbeing activities and therapeutic group for our carers/ family members affected by someone else's addiction. The grant will be a contribution towards our part-time Carers Lead/Counsellor salary for the year. ASCA is the only service in the LB of Richmond providing specialist support services to carers/ families affected by someone else's addiction. The involvement of carers/family members in the treatment of their cared for can enhance positive outcomes, but only when there is access to local specialist services to support their own mental health and wellbeing. Our carers support needs are very complex with many involved in mentally, physically and financially abusive controlling relationships ie partners and parents of adult children. In the case of the latter parents are coerced to give money to pay for drugs while they themselves struggle to pay bills, forgo meals and social activities. Their guilt and shame means they become isolated from society.
