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:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
