THE BRITISH STAMMERING ASSOCIATION

BSA is a charity run by people for people who stammer. We provide unbiased information on all aspects of stammering and run projects and campaigns to improve access to therapy, education and employment

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
This charity has received considerable income from legacies in recent years
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there 14 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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
