CAREFREESPACE

Carefree harnesses the power of technology and the spirit of the shared society to support and sustainunpaid carers, the invisible workforce without which our social care system could not survive. In partnershipwith the hospitality industry and third sector organisations we are tackling one of the greatest socialchallenges of our time.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity is a recent Award Winner
There has been strong growth in spending since inception
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly male
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
There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
