THE AUTSCAPE ORGANISATION 

Autscape runs an annual conference by and for autistic people (since 2005). Autscape provides an autistic-oriented environment created by autistic people and welcomes presentations which accept that autistics do not need to be fundamentally changed in order to be acceptable. We offer a positive and accepting environment and the opportunity to meet other autistic people. Website www.autscape.org.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Latest return is overdue

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years
  • Income has been volatile recently
