    The Camden Psychotherapy unit provides short & long term psychological therapies to persons over the age of 18.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently and there are significant future grants due to be received
    • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
    • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

    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 was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
