SOUTHEND CARERS

TO PROVIDE INFORMATION, ADVICE AND SUPPORT TO CARERS IN SOUTHEND-ON-SEA.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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 and 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
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending

Established: 22 years
