NORTHAMPTONSHIRE DEAF CHILDREN'S SOCIETY 

We provide a fun, informal monthly meeting / respite session for hearing impaired children in Northamptonshire and their families. We also organise inclusive trips and activities during school holidays that the children cannot always access easily.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

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