HEADWAY LUTON LTD

Supporting people with an acquired brain injury and other neurological conditions, their family members and/or carers living in Luton and South Central Bedfordshire by providing holistic community support and day centre services.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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 age and gender and 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
