POWER TO INSPIRE

Through inclusive and adapted sports days delivered to schools, communities and clubs we wish to embed inclusive sports within the UK sporting landscape, making a world in which inclusive sport is accepted as culturally normal. Our Games are not just focussed on bringing disabled and non-disabled people together but help all regardless of creed, age, gender, and race.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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