DOWN'S SYNDROME NORFOLK 

Down's Syndrome Norfolk seeks to offer support, information and activities for people with Down's syndrome in the county, their families and carers. We also involve ourselves with other organisations working with people with Down's syndrome and the media, giving information and advice as required.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of 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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
