INCLUSIVE PLAY OPPORTUNITIES PROJECT (IPOP)

IPOP provides opportunities for children and young people of all abilities to play and socialise together, offers support and information to families of disabled children and young people and raises awareness of the benefits of inclusive provision in both play settings and more widely. IPOP works towards strengthening play provision for mainstream and disabled children

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 3 trustees
The Board composition appears to be very static

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 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
Spending is declining
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
