BUTTERFLIES DEMENTIA SUPPORT AND ACTIVITIES GROUP

Butterflies Dementia Support and Activities Group aims to support those in the South Yorkshire region who suffer with dementia and their carers. We as a charity aim to support by providing weekly events, regular days out and supportive sessions that integrate those with Dementia and Alzhiemers into the community. Butterflies is currently based in Barnsley and is always looking to help new members

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending since inception
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management 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
