NORTH SURREY COMMUNITY COUNSELLING PARTNERSHIP 

To provide an affordable, high quality counselling service for adults in Surrey who are facing mental health challenges. The service offers independent counselling and receives referrals from community health teams and GP surgeries as well as self-referrals.
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 dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • 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: 25 years
