BRADFORD DEAF COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

We provide opportunity for interaction between deaf and hearing people. We provide access to information, training and recreational activites for deaf and hard of hearing people.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
Why are there only 4 trustees?

Financial issues to consider:

Spending is declining
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
