DISABILITY NETWORK HOUNSLOW

Advice, information and advoacy for disabled people, their families, friends, carers and professionals who live or work in the London Borough of Hounslow.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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 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
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
