HEADWAY DARLINGTON AND DISTRICT

Our charity is dedicated to rebuilding lives after brain injury for survivors and families. We cover Darlington, South Durham, Teesside, Hambleton and Richmondshire, delivering services and activities based at The Headway Hub in Darlington. As well as arts and crafts, trips out, ten-pin bowling, discussion groups and advice and information, we run awareness sessions and fundraising activities.

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
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly male
The Board has little diversity in terms of age
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
There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
