CARER SUPPORT FURNESS

Carer Support Furness (formerly Furness Carers) was established to support Unpaid Carers of all ages who are looking after a partner, relative or friend who through illness or disability cannot manage at home without help. We offer a wide range of services to meet the individual needs including: information, emotional support and practical services and we support Adult, Parent and Young Carers.

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 4 trustees
The Board is completely female
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
