INTERPLAY (INTEGRATED PLAY AND LEISURE) 

Play and leisure for children and young people with diabilities and additional needs aged 4-25
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been reasonable growth in spending 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
  • This charity is based in an area of extremely high deprivation

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 3 trustees
  • The Board is completely 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
