    JIGSAW (BURY) 

    Jigsaw is a member led organisation that aims to promote Fun, Freedom & Independence for disabled people in the Bury Metropolitan area. We support people to form and maintain friendships and enjoy an active social life. The social & sport activities and befriending scheme we coordinate aim to prevent social isolation, improve self esteem and community integration.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
    • 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

    Financial issues to consider:

    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
    • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
