ST HELENS MIND

All our services are based around the Social Inclusion Model. We encourage people who have become socially isolated due to the effects of mental illness to play a more active part within their local community. Currently we provide a Volunteer Befriending Service, Social Groups in all area of the borough, social activites, and an allotment. We operate in the Borough of St Helens.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been reasonable growth in spending 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
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender 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
