To further or benefit the deaf and hard of hearing in a common effort to advance education and religion, and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation with the objective of improving the conditions of life.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

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 and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
