MS ACTION LIMITED

We are a Disability therapy centre, providing complementary and mainstream therapies for people with Neurological conditions.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board has little diversity in terms of age
Over half the Board have joined 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

Established: 34 years
