DEMAND DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE FOR DISABILITY

We design and make equipment for people with disabilities where existing solutions are either inaccessible or inadequate. We also provide an equipment sign-posting service. We improve & repair equipment already in use, and we encourage interest in design for disability through close ties with universities & via annual student placements enabling students to develop people centred design skills

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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