AUTISM BUCKS

Autism Bucks aims to raise awareness and provide information of services that may improve community access for those experiencing Autism in Buckinghamshire.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
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

Financial issues to consider:

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