THE INTERSENSORY CLUB

To preserve and protect the health and wellbeing of children and young people who are severely mentally disabled by providing and assisting in the provision of facilities, support services and equipment not normally provided by the statutory authorities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years, despite a decline more recently
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender
  • This charity is based in an area of high deprivation

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
