VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION ASSOCIATION 

The VRA supports and promotes the delivery of vocational rehabilitation, through education, communication and conferences for its members, and the development of professional standards of practice for those delivering VR services. It also responds on behalf of its members, to government and private sector initiatives in the field of VR.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received income from Government contracts
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • 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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
