THE DISABILITY FOUNDATION LIMITED

TDF offers help to all disabled people, their families & carers. The Charity offers subsidised therapies to disabled people and their carers

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 4 trustees
The Board composition appears to be very 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
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending

Established: 25 years
