TIMESAVERS

Timesavers were set up in September 2010 by a group of parents who were concerned by the lack of paid jobs or work experience placements in offices for people with learning disabilities where they could gain their skills in a supportive environment and on a one to one basis if required.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board composition appears to be very static

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending

Established: 12 years
