HALESWORTH DEMENTIA CARERS FUND

Our objects are to support people living with dementia and their family carers in Halesworth, Suffolk, and the surrounding area by providing information, support and services; and raising awareness and promoting the development of a dementia friendly community, working in partnership with other organisations locally.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly female
  • 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
