COMMUNITY COUNSELLING (NORTH YORKSHIRE) LIMITED 

We exist to help people live fulfilling, rewarding & self-actualising lives, successfully dealing with the challenges of contemporary life. We do this by providing accessible, professional, evidence-based, & cost-effective therapeutic interventions. As an integral part of the local health & social care sector network, we work in partnership with a range of statutory & voluntary organisations
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 including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • 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:

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