MID MEDIATION AND COUNSELLING LTD

We offer professional mediation to couples and young people in the process of family breakdown. We also offer counselling and support to children and their families during and after this difficult time.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board has little diversity in terms of age

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: 25 years
