RELATE SEVERN AND WYE 

Relate Severn and Wye provides counselling to couples, individuals, families, and young people. We also provide sex therapy, as well as delivering training courses covering a wide curriculum on the subjects of relationships and communication. Counselling is delivered from the main centre based in Worcester and in outposts across the counties of Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Gloucestershire.
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 and a Community Foundation
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly female
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Established: 28 years
