SUFFOLK COALITION OF DISABLED PEOPLE 

Suffolk Coalition of Disabled People (SCODP) is a user led organisation, aiming to be the voice of disabled people organisations in Suffolk. SCODP follows the social model of disability.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There have been multiple defaults for filing returns
  • The Board composition appears to be very 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
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
