NORTH WEST WALES SAMARITANS

North West Wales Samaritans, Bangor offer a confidential, non-judgmental listening service to people in distress 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Samaritans may be contacted by phone, email or text message. We offer a Welsh language service at specified hours. Our aim is to lessen the number of people taking their own lives but our service is open to everyone in distress.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
  • 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:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

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
