TOUCAN EMPLOYMENT 

TOUCAN EMPLOYMENT SUPPORTS PEOPLE WITH LEARNING DISABILITIES INTO PAID EMPLOYMENT
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased 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
  • 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
