THE KALEIDOSCOPE FOUNDATION

The Kaleidoscope Foundation is looking to improve the lives of disabled persons, empowering them to live self-sustainable lives. We aim to promote the cause of the disabled, giving them the confidence to deal with everyday life and the skills to either find fulfilling employment or set up their own business. We look to provide online educational and soft skills training programs and grants.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board composition appears to be rather 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
Income has been volatile recently
