THE RESPITE ASSOCIATION 

After 20 years of supporting carers, this Charity updated to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) in 2021 - see Charity Number: 1193232. This Charity remains open on the register to allow for the collection of any residual donations or legacies given under the old registration. A legal transfer document is in place to move any such donations to the new Charity on a regular basis.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile recently
Established: 23 years
