TIME TO TALK WEST BERKSHIRE

Time to Talk West Berkshire provides a confidential counselling service, free at the point of delivery, for young people aged 11 to 25 who are resident, in education, training, working or registered with a GP in West Berkshire. It provides counselling from its premises in Newbury, at some schools and through other outreach work, and runs courses.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
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
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender 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
