ACTION FOR NEURODIVERSITY

Action for Neurodiversity (AfN) offers a bespoke counselling service for lives that have become adversely affected by the experience of Asperger's Syndrome (autism). Individuals who may benefit from AfN's service are those who are aged 3 to adult and either have autism or are in a close relationship with someone who has autism.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
