FRIENDS OF YOUNG CARERS (SWINDON)

The focus of the charity's work is to provide help and support to children and young people caring for a member of their family who may be disabled or suffering from mental health problems , substance misuse or have a long term or terminal illness. Young carers benefit by being involved in a range of activities to have a break from their caring responsibilities and regain their childhood.

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

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
