THE INSPIRE FOUNDATION

The INSPIRE Foundation addresses quality of life issues for those living with damage to the spinal cord by researching the latest advances in electronic, mechanical and medical technology.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data

Established: 37 years
