CROYDON PEOPLE FIRST

Support adults with learning disabilities across Croydon with arts, learning, training, health, voice and other projects

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Financial issues to consider:

Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
