THE WINGATE SPECIAL CHILDRENS TRUST 

The charity provides inclusive facilities for residential and recreational activities which allow those with Special Educational Needs to participate in sport, recreation and residential short breaks allowing them to be active, improve their physical and mental health, build relationships, develop social and life skills whilst reducing the isolation and loneliness associated with disability.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

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