MALVERN SPECIAL FAMILIES

Excellent providers of safe, stimulating and fun social opportunities for children and young people with disabilities. We provide Saturday clubs, after-school clubs, evening youth groups, and holiday play schemes for children and young people with disabilities. Our clubs take place in Malvern and Worcester and we currently support just over 150 families in the area.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board composition appears to be rather static and 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
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
