STAFFORDSHIRE NETWORK FOR MENTAL HEALTH

To improve the quality of life for people in Staffordshire and surrounding areas who have or may be at risk of mental distress or ill health. Our main service is the Emotional Wellbeing Toolbox; by focusing on strengths and community involvement we enable people to take charge of their mental health. We challenge stigma and discrimination of people with mental illness.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and 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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
