ALLSORTS GLOUCESTERSHIRE

Allsorts supports families who have a child with additional needs in Gloucestershire. Support is given with activities such as youth clubs, parent and carer groups, family trips, inclusive sports, a specialist toy library, early years groups, music workshops and sibling groups.
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 dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly female

Financial issues to consider:

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