MILLSTREAM DAY CENTRE

We provide interaction, meals and an exercise class for customers users in and around Benson, Ewelme, Berrick Salome, Roke and Preston Crowmarsh. Activities are usually located in the Millstream Day Centre, open 3 days a week and staffed by a manager and cook employed by the charity and assisted by volunteers. In response to the Covid19 pandemic an outreach model has been developed.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
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 dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year

Established: 9 years
