    THAMES VALLEY ADVENTURE PLAYGROUND ASSOCIATION 

    To alleviate the need of children and adults with special needs, their relatives and carers by the provision of facilities for adventure play at Taplow
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently

    Financial issues to consider:

    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
    • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
