LEEDS WEEKEND CARE ASSOCIATION 

Short breaks for children with disabilities, offered through two different projects. Include a weekend playscheme, and out-and-about teenage group, Both projects offer a safe and well- staffed environment where our service-users develop and have fun.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
