PERKISOUND CHARITABLE INCORPORATED ORGANISATION

Perkisound opens for "Playdays" where families can experience live interactive concerts, open air musical instruments, a nest swing, trampoline, and other attractions. The project is aimed at families with a child or children with autism and all family members can join in. Have Fun! At present individual bookings only are accepted due to Covid-19 restrictions.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
