ST CATHERINE'S - SPEECH AND LANGUAGE

St Catherine's is a national charity working with children and young people with severe, lifelong speech, language and communication disabilities. We provide a specialist school and sixth form centre, intensive speech, language and occupational therapy, excellent residential facilities, a comprehensive vocational training programme and outreach support to mainstream schools, parents and families.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end but unrestricted reserves are available
Accounts have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
