SAMARITANS OF IPSWICH AND EAST SUFFOLK

We offer emotional support by telephone, email and face-to-face to people of all ages, regardless of gender, race or religion, both at our Centre and out in the community.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received Government grants
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
The Board appears to be 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
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
