PLYMOUTH DEAF CHILDREN'S SOCIETY

Registered Charity comprising parents of hearing impaired children, their families and other people concerned with deaf children. We hold fundraising events and activities for the children. The activities are held at third party centres e.g. dry slope skiing, horse riding , theatre and theme parks. Organise Christmas parties, adventure days and run 2 youth clubs for under/over 11 years children.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

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: 59 years
