Activities are fun-based and include support by paid staff.Activities include art and drama, cookery, music, indoor and out door games, sensory room, computers, reading, quiet time and occasional outings.
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 a Community Foundation
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Established: 23 years
