UKAAF aims to improve the social inclusion of blind and partially sighted people, and others with a print impairment, by:setting standards and promoting best practice for quality accessible information based on user needs, and,enabling businesses and organisations to deliver a quality service to meet the needs of people with print impairments.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

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
