CARERS VOICE NORFOLK AND WAVENEY 

Our mission is to improve the health and wellbeing of all carers in Norfolk. Throughout partnership working we will ensure that the voice of carers is heard and listened to, enabling support and services to be designed and delivered that reflect carers' needs and interests.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • 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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There are only 4 trustees
  • The Board composition appears to be very static

Financial issues to consider:

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