BOURNSTREAM TRUST FOR THE DISABLED

Play site for disabled children.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Why is the Board completely male?

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
