DISABILITY PARTNERSHIP CALDERDALE

All our members have a physical and/or sensory impairment and live and/or work in Calderdale. We engage with service providers and commissioners, mainly in local authority, health and transport sectors. By involving significant numbers of disabled people, we can have a big impact on decision makers. By using this model, disabled people are empowered and can influence policy and service delivery.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
