SOUTH LEICESTERSHIRE MOBILE TOY LIBRARY

This is a unique mobile toy library service for children with disabilities, living within the rural Harborough District, Oadby District and Wigston Borough, in South Leicestershire. Members select toys 4-weekly and the toys are then delivered to members' homes, schools, nurseries, playgroups, childminders etc., thus helping to support the children in their access to developmental toys.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:
