WHAT MAKES YOU DIFFERENT MAKES YOU BEAUTIFUL 

We are a support service for families of children with disabilities, offering a variety of activities to meet their needs holistically.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
  • There are only 4 trustees

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 8 years
