FISH NEIGHBOURHOOD CARE

To promote charitable purposes for the benefit of the residents of Barnes, Mortlake and East Sheen within the Borough of Richmond upon Thames, by providing assistance and support to relieve the needs, distress or suffering of the inhabitants.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent 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 age and dynamic in terms of composition

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
