THE OUTSIDERS TRUST 

A social and peer support network for people with physical and social disabilities. We run the Sex and Disability Helpline, the Sexual Health and Disability Alliance, and provide resources on sex and disability. We campaign for people with disabilities to be accepted as sexual partners.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 5 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
