AUTISM SUSSEX LIMITED

To promote for the public benefit in such manner as the directors (trustees) shall see fit the welfare, education, care of people disabled people, and in particular but not exclusively those with Autism, Asperger's syndrome and related conditions (hereinafter collectively referred to as "people with autism").

Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 2 trustees
The Board composition appears to be rather static and 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
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
