MY LIFE MY WAY

Our objectives are to promote social inclusion among disabled and older people, their families and those who use social care services who are socially excluded on the grounds of their social and economic position by:1) Providing workshops, training and forums and practical support,2) Raising public awareness of these issues.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board is completely female
The Board composition appears to be rather static and 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
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
