THE TOY HOUSE

The Toy House provides a hub for the local community, with a particular emphasis on those people with disabilities. This service covers all ages. We have volunteers of all ages and abilities.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
