SUNDERLAND AREA PARENT SUPPORT

The aim of SAPS is to encourage and support local people and organisations who have an interest in the future of problematic substance use and their families. By advocating for partnership working SAPS will share ideas, information and skills to the benefit of clients whilst striving to remove barriers that prevent access to social and health service provision.

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 3 trustees
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
