RE:CHARGE R&R 

Re:Charge R&R provides drop-in sessions for vulnerable families at three different locations within Maidenhead and a fourth session to support vulnerable adults including those recovering from addictions. These provide support, including from the local food bank, signposting to services available and some training.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is predominantly female

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 is declining
