DISABILITY CAMBRIDGESHIRE

Disability Cambridgeshire is the primary disability information and advice service for Cambridgeshire. We assist with disability and age related benefit claims, lead Disability Equality training sessions, provide access surveys and champion the interests of disabled people, older people and carers locally, regionally and nationally.

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 gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There have been multiple defaults for filing returns

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
