CROSSROADS CARERS SUPPORT GROUP

65 thousand hours of respite in the form of weekends away and day trips for adult carers and under sixteen's plus, monthly coffee mornings with booked activities, identified new carers, increased our membership and provided other services like advocacy, made new alliances with other charity's and local Government services.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
