LOLLIPOP (YORK & DISTRICT)

Lollipop provides regular free activities for families of children & young people with any degree of hearing loss. Through such activities families have the opportunity to meet & build friendships with others, with whom they share their experience of deafness. Activities also encourage members to realise their true potential & in doing so build confidence, raise self esteem & develop self identity

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of 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
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending

Established: 20 years
