SNAP SPECIALIST PLAYGROUP 

SNAP specialist play is based in Pembrokeshire supporting pre school age children who have additional needs. The children's developmental milestones are observed, assessed and identified where individual play plans are devised to support their progress through play . We work collaboratively with all professionals involved to assist the transition into Education.
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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • 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
  • Income has been volatile recently
