MAIDSTONE MENCAP CHARITABLE TRUST LIMITED

We provide a playschool, Junior Gateway, Holiday club and Senior Gateway club for children/adults with learning disabilities in the Maidstone area.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board composition appears to be rather static

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: 32 years
