    IT'S MY LIFE TRUST 

    We are raising funds and providing Conductive Education to help children and adults with neurological difficulties.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

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

    Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

    • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

    Financial issues to consider:

    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
    • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
    Established: 16 years
