DEAF WORLD 

TO PROVIDE EDUCATIONAL, RECREATIONAL, LEISURE, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL ACTIVITIES IN PARTNERSHIP WITH HARD OF HEARING AND DEAF YOUNG PEOPLE LIVING IN THE WEST MIDLANDS BETWEEN 11 AND 25 YEARS OLD.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There are only 3 trustees
  • The Board is completely male

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: 15 years
