The Carers Centre is a charitable Company, bringing together a partnership of statutory and voluntary sector resources and expertise to provide real support to Carers and give their needs and their contributions the recognition and status they deserve.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

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
