ACTION ON DISABILITY AND DEVELOPMENT 

ADD International works with disabled people in Africa and Asia to promote an accessible and inclusive world where disabled women, men and children are able to enjoy their rights and responsibilities and participate as fully as they choose at every level of society.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Fundraising costs are low relative to funds raised
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
Established: 37 years
