DISABILITY ADVICE AND SUPPORT HILLINGDON 

Dash provides information and advice to disabled people in the London Borough of Hillingdon enabling them to make choices about how they live their lives. Dash also runs a number of activities and sports sessions.
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 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
Established: 22 years
