SECOND THOUGHTS EAST YORKSHIRE 

Providing support to people with mental health problems and their family or friend carers in the East Riding of Yorkshire and surrounding areas. Support is through peer group meetings helping with confidence building, assertiveness, anxiety management, appreciating your own skills and boosting effective communication.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
  • The Board composition appears to be rather 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
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 9 years
