SUPPORT TO RECOVERY

Support to Recovery activities relieves the needs of persons within the county of West Yorkshire having mental healthproblems and those who care for people with mental health difficulties, by preventative means, through support, advice, visual arts, creativity, therapeutic interventions and physical activities and by any other charitable means that the trustees may from time to time think fit;
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 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 gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income was lower than spending in the latest year
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
