CLOTHING SOLUTIONS (FOR DISABLED PEOPLE)

Clothing Solutions provide a unique bespoke garment making, alterations and adaptations service to physical disabled people and those with learning difficulties, to improve their life choices and independence. We also provide garments to other people such as the elderly and infirm that are not registered disabled but require help. We also offer an advice and information service.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly female
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
