THE SHAFTESBURY SOCIETY

In June 2007, The Shaftesbury Society merged with John Grooms, a fellow Christian charity providing care, support and holiday services for disabled people; from that date we transferred our activities together with those of John Grooms to Grooms-Shaftesbury, now formally known as Livability, creating the largest Christian disability charity in the country.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity only provides its support via other charities
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
Why are there only 2 trustees?
Returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
This charity appears to be dormant
