DIAL LEEDS LTD

DIAL LEEDS's purpose is to ensure that disabled people & their carers are not disadvantaged through lack of knowledge of their rights, or a lack of awareness of available opportunities, and to provide support when needed to allow people to express their needs and wishes effectively.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
