FAVELL DAY SERVICES

The charity provides day care facilities for recreation and other leisure activities for persons over the age of 18 who have need of these because of their physical disability.The objectives of the care service seek to provide both an enjoyable care environment for its members and provide a break for carers and family members
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

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
