TERAPIA

Terapia exists to provide relief of the mental and emotional distress of children, adolescents, adults, carers and families in need of professional help, through counselling, psychotherapy, training, advice and support and to advance the education of the general public in all areas relating to child, adolescent and adult counselling and psychotherapy.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker recently
  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

  • Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
