YOUR EMOTIONAL SUPPORT SERVICE - YESS

YESS's Mission Statement is to provide a space to people of all ages where they can explore diverse mental health and wellbeing needs. To achieve these objectives a range of professional services are provided including individual counselling sessions, group work on specific issues and a drop in service.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

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
