    BRENT BEREAVEMENT SERVICES

    The main activities of the charity are practical support or individual counselling to relieve suffering and mental ill-health amongst the recently bereaved, prevent the need for hospital admission, work in close association with health staff and social services, train others who care for the bereaved, and to create and promote informed public opinion on the needs of the bereaved.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
    • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

    Financial issues to consider:

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