THE CORNWALL BLIND AND PARTIALLY SIGHTED ASSOCIATION

The charity's objectives are to promote the welfare of blind and partially sighted people within Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
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
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
