SPECIAL NEEDS ACTIVITY CLUB (SNAC) 

SNAC aims to provide opportunities for children, young people and others who have physical and/or learning difficulties. This is achieved by the provision of programmes of recreation, educational and social activities, outings and events. We encourage family members, along with the extended family, to join in these activities. This gives parents and carers the chance to network with others people.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are 14 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12
  • 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
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 24 years
