OPEN MINDS

We provide social activities for isolated disabled people, for example, monthly meetings, events, trips and outings in the city and county of Nottingham. We are also working alongside other service delivery organisations in the local charity sector.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board is predominantly male
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Latest accounts are overdue for filing
