SAMARITANS OF HORSHAM AND CRAWLEY

We offer support to people who are suicidal or despairing, and are on hand 24 hours a day, every day of the year, both locally to Horsham, Crawley and the surrounding area, and nationally.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

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