GEORGIA'S VOICE

We aim to reduce the rate of suicide in young women in Cornwall aged 18-25, by highlighting the warning signs and with early intervention through our free support groups, building a support network, promoting wellness, and referrals to appropriate therapies/professional services.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
There are only 4 trustees
The Board is completely 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
