CARERS TRUST CROSSROADS WEST WALES

A specialist carers' organisation providing support to care in their own home. We work across all ages and disabilities providing care from childhood into adult care. The service can be regular or occasional and is provided by trained carer support workers who will continue the caring role while carers have a break.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is completely female

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending

Established: 16 years
