BURY INVOLVEMENT GROUP IN MENTAL HEALTH

Bury Involvement Group (BIG) in Mental Health is a voluntary organisation based in Bury. We provide several different groups for adults experiencing mental health conditions and provide a community crisis service via an NHS grant. We also signpost people to other services and hold events to raise awareness and reduce stigma about mental health. BIG is a strong independent voice in mental health.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 3 trustees?

Financial issues to consider:

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