THE JOHN MCNEILL OPPORTUNITY CENTRE

PROVIDING PRE SCHOOL EDUCATION FOR CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS IN THE SALISBURY AREA

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
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
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly female
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

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: 31 years
