THE DORSET CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION

Jan 2022 We support disabled children by funding disability equipment, medical expenses & therapies & offer Accessible For All, a large range of sports & play activities. We offer free counselling, fund a range of support groups and clubs and run stay and play pre school sessions that bring likeminded families together. We also offer disability education workshops & campaign for disability rights.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Financial issues to consider:

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