BRIGHTWELL NEUROLOGICAL SUPPORT CENTRE LIMITED

The Charity raised the funds to build and equip a modern, larger Therapy Centre enabling the West of England MS Therapy Centre ltd to move to this donated, easily accessible site for those living with a Neurological Condition in 2012. The Charity is responsible for the building and has the head lease with the Local Authority.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly male

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
