MID SUFFOLK CITIZENS ADVICE BUREAU

The principal activities of the Charity are to provide a free, confidential and impartial advice service and information to the public.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
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

Established: 19 years
