THE AMBULANCE STAFF CHARITY

TASC The Ambulance Staff Charity is here to support present and past ambulance staff and their families in time of need. Our services are independent and confidential, and include psychological rehabilitation and counselling including stress and PTSD support; physical rehabilitation; financial grants; debt advice; welfare and other support; and bereavement support.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Reserves management has been consistently within official guidelines
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
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
