The group offers a comprehensive information and advice service covering benefits, access, discrimination, employment, holidays, leisure etc. The service is provided for people who live in the area of Scarborough and District.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

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
