SANDWELL PARENTS FOR DISABLED CHILDREN

SPDC provides a range of play, leisure and sporting opportunities for disabled children and their families. We also provide a range of support and information for parent carers.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
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
