GUILDFORD ACTION FOR COMMUNITY CARE

Guildford Action supports homeless Individuals as well as isolated families. Our mission is to ?Enhance the lives of all those we come into contact with?. The projects are The Guildford Action Day Service (homelessness) and The GAF (Guildford Action for Families) support service. We aim to meet basic needs, maximise potential through group work, individual casework, signposting and outreach.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
