WILTSHIRE MIND

TO PROVIDE SUPPORT AND THERAPEUTIC SERVICES TO PEOPLE IN WILTSHIRE WITH MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 4 trustees
The Board is completely male
The Board composition appears to be rather static

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 and on several occasions in recent years less than spending

Established: 18 years
