READING LADDERS

We provide children with dyslexia and other literacy difficulties, specialist literacy tuition, taught by qualified dyslexia teachers. We work in schools in North West London and the surrounding areas. Our aim is to ensure children develop their reading ability so that they can access the curriculum, through fun, multi-sensory lessons.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker and there are significant future grants due to be received
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

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
