FAMILY TREE (WIRRAL) 

Family Tree Wirral provides training, information, support groups, counselling, advocacy, newsletter, library and social events for family members of those experiencing mental ill-health. In addition, members of the charity bring the needs and views of carers to local decision making bodies and the charity seeks to work collaboratively with other agencies, both statutory and voluntary.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely male

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 22 years
