SIGHT ACTION (HAVERING) 

We work with, and on behalf of, vision impaired residents within the London borough of Havering, to provide support, advice and information, and to raise awareness of their needs with those responsible for service provision. We work closely with other groups and organisations, nationally and locally, to achieve this.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

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