DUDLEY CROSSROADS 

By providing support workers to look after disabled individuals, we allow time for carers to "be themselves" to pursue leisure/educational/social time as they wish, knowing their "cared fors" are with responsible trained support. Our focus is principally on the carers of physically disabled individuals.We also offer a support service to elderly, isolated and vulnerable people in their own homes.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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 gender

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 and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 28 years
