ACTION IN THE COMMUNITY TO SUPPORT NORTH WALES AND CHESHIRE (ACTS)

We deliver items, goods or services to people in need who apply to the charity. We operate in an area centred on Chester, Cheshire. We look to promote and encourage acts of kindness. We look to promote the charity through word of mouth, social media, printed material and a website.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker and there are significant future grants due to be received
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
