HEADWAY LINCOLNSHIRE 

Providing information, support and services to those in Lincolnshire who have suffered brain injuries, their families and carers. Campaigning for better services for those who have suffered brain injuries.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

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