BRENTWOOD AND DISTRICT CROSSROADS CARE ATTENDANT SCHEME 

Brentwood Crossroads' primary objective is to relieve stress in families or persons responsible for the care of sick or disabled people. We aim to supplement and complement, not replace, existing statutory 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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There have been multiple defaults for filing returns
  • There are only 2 trustees
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static and has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
  • There is a pension deficit of £0
  • Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • This charity appears to be dormant
