We provide loving support, in a variety of ways, including Support Groups, not only for people across the whole width of the gender diversity spectrum, but also for family, friends and significant others. We provide a safe, private venue for people to come and socialise, make friends, laugh and just be themselves in a fearless environment.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • 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 and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • Returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 3 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
