WAVE MUSWELL HILL CIO

Wave Hub (previously Wave Cafe) was established to promote social inclusion and raise public awareness of the issues faced by people with learning disabilities. We aim to demonstrate what it means to value everyone equally. We run a creative arts cafe in Muswell Hill as a social enterprise where people of all abilities can work and socialise together.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

Income was lower than spending in the latest year
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
