HACKNEY SPARROWS WHEELCHAIR BASKETBALL CLUB

As a self help disability group, we aim to bring disabled youth and adults of most excluded communities out of isolation and offer them a new healthy and competitive lifestyle providing training on wheelchairs and advising how to join competitive levels ie wheelchair Basketball League. We are based in Hackney and cover mostly East, North and Central London, but welcome everyone from anywhere else.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

Income has been volatile recently but spending has been maintained
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
