SUICIDE PREVENTION & INTERVENTION IOW

To prevent loss of life by suicide
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 and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There have been multiple defaults for filing returns
  • Why is there only 1 trustee?

Financial issues to consider:

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