THE SOLIHULL CHILDRENS SPECIAL NEEDS ASSOCIATION 

PROVISION OF GRANTS TO SUPPORT EARLY YEARS NURSERY FOR CHILDREN AGED 2 - 5 WITH SPECIAL NEEDS AND/ OR DISABILITIES
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is predominantly female
  • The Board composition appears to be very static

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
