CAMDEN CITY ISLINGTON AND WESTMINSTER BEREAVEMENT SERVICE

To provide confidential Bereavement and Loss Counselling for people over 18
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • 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 age and 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
