LINDRIDGE ENTERPRISES LTD 

Lindridge Enterprises engage young people with learning disabilities and/or Autism, to offer volunteering opportunities to build on their work skills.Since Covid our project manager left and delivery has been very difficult
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board composition appears to be very static and has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing
  • Income has been volatile recently
Established: 9 years
(12 years as a company)
