PUSHING CHANGE

Pushing change promotes social inclusion by empowering people to overcome issues of dependency, mental health and homelessness. We do this by providing peer support, peer advocacy, education, training, awareness raising and self development. We also provide direct support for people to access services and represent service user interests with commissioners and service providers.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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 dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
Income was lower than spending in the latest year

Established: 9 years
