    THE SANDVILLE SELF HELP FOUNDATION 

    Self Help Centre offers a variety of physical, social, emotional and psychological support for individuals and their families with life limiting and life changing conditions and also bereavement services. We work closely with health and social care and have a robust education program
    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:

    • Over half the Board have joined recently

    Financial issues to consider:

    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
    • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
    • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
