DISABILITY AND DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS 

DDP works with partner organisations to help build a society where disabled and other marginalised and vulnerable people have equal social, economic and civil rights. DDP creates opportunities in education for disabled children, including deaf children, sets up socio-economic programmes and supports partner organisations to advocate for disabled people's rights and influence public policy.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 29 years
