DOVER DEAL AND DISTRICT CITIZENS ADVICE BUREAU

The charity offers free, confidential and impartial advice on a range of topics including welfare benefits, money and debt, employment, housing, consumer matters and legal issues.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
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
