DISABILITY ACTIVE

Disability Active is a Charity providing sporting activities and physical exercise for adults and children with learning and physical disabilities and mental health issues in order to improve their health and confidence and ultimately enrich their quality of life.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker recently
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there only 4 trustees?
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
