PORTSMOUTH MEDIATION SERVICE 

Provision of mediation and conflict resolution services in neighbour, workplace and other situations in Portsmouth and surrounding areas in Hampshire and West Sussex.
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
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

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