THE CHAMWELL CENTRE CHARITY

Our aim is to provide a visionary and unique centre to enable pupils of The Milestone School and SAND Academy, along with children, young people and adults throughout Gloucestershire, to overcome disability.Our vision is to enhance the wellbeing of those with disability - how they feel, how they function on a personal and social level, and how they feel about their lives as a whole.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
This charity has a robust balance sheet
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £4,239,643 available, equivalent to 78 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending

Established: 9 years
