TEAM RISE

Helping adults with learning difficulties
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There has been strong growth in spending since inception

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 4 trustees?
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income was significantly 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
