MERSEYSIDE SOCIETY FOR DEAF PEOPLE 

The activities of the charity are to address the numerous barriers and inequalities experienced by Deaf people. Merseyside Society for Deaf People seek to ensure that Deaf people achieve a full, active and influencing role in mainstream society. We do this through the provision of customised information, communication support, community support, training and development.
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 and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appeared to be in excess of CC guidelines at the latest year end especially considering the historic stability of income
Established: 26 years
