THE MYRIAD CENTRE LIMITED

The principal activity of the Company is that of a registered charity (1109843) established to promote and advance the health, achievement and welfare of young people aged over 13 and adults with profound, multiple and severe learning difficulties by the provision of day care facilities.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has a robust balance sheet
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
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 and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appeared to be in excess of CC guidelines at the latest year end but this has been generated by an income surplus in the latest year
