THE HOUGHTON-LE-SPRING AND DISTRICT CENTRE FOR THE BLIND

Please see 'Charitable Objects' for further information

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly female

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Latest accounts are overdue for filing
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
