INSIGHT GLOUCESTERSHIRE

Insight Gloucestershire (formerly The Gloucestershire County Association for the Blind,GCAB) is a registered charity working in co-operation with others to enhance the independence and quality of life of all visually impaired people in Gloucestershire

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
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
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending

Established: 62 years
