IPSWICH DEMENTIA ACTION ALLIANCE 

Ipswich Dementia Action Alliance employs a part time worker to co-ordinate all of the activities of the Alliance. We meet as a Forum every 3 months to hear of the activities of businesses, organisations, groups, volunteers and people living with dementia that are helping to make Ipswich a dementia friendly place, as well as the needs identified by people living with dementia and their families.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • 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
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 3 years
  • Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
