THE PURPLE PENGUIN CLUB

The Purple Penguin Club is a small local charity in Dagenham, which provides high quality fun and social clubs and activities for children aged 5-18 years who have a disability or additional need (those children who are unable to attend other mainstream groups/clubs or sporting activities because of their high level of needs).

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

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
