OUR TIME 

OUR TIME SUPPORTS CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE AFFECTED BY PARENTAL MENTAL ILLNESS. WE RAISE AWARENESS OF THIS GROUP TO GAIN THEIR RECOGNITION WITHIN PUBLIC POLICY. WE CREATE SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENTS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE AND FAMILIES, WHERE THEY CAN RECEIVE EXPLANATIONS AND BUILD RESILIENCE. WE SUPPORT PROFESSIONALS WORKING WITH YOUNG PEOPLE TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THIS ISSUE.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • This Charity has changed registration and some of the financial and donation history pertains to the previous entity
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
