ASSISTANCE DOGS (UK)

ADUK seeks to advance the education of the public and service providers about assistance dogs, and the rights of people who rely on them. The charity does this by bringing internationally accredited assistance dog organisations together so that they might share their knowledge and expertise to create information, guidance and best practice.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity only provides its support via other charities
Over half the Board have joined recently

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 recently but spending has been maintained
