FAMILIES OUT LOUD

Families Out Loud gives relief and assistance to adults and young people (aged 13-17) in need in Wiltshire, who are actively affected by the misuse of, principally, alcohol and drugs, by a family member or friend by providing them with support, counselling and advice either in person or on-line.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
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:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
The Board is predominantly female

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
