DYSLEXIA ASSOCIATION OF BEXLEY, BROMLEY, GREENWICH AND LEWISHAM 

The Charity's mission is to help children and adults to overcome the problems of dyslexia and associated learning difficulties.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is completely female

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
