CROSSROADS CARING FOR CARERS WORCESTERSHIRE 

We provide care and support to people with care needs throughout Worcestershire. In so doing, we also assist family based carers by offering support and respite. In addition, we provide training for our staff and offer this service to benefit the staff of other care providers and charities within Worcestershire.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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 dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely male

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 recently
