LOOK SUSSEX

Look Sussex meets throughout the year for outings with the families allowing VI children to interact with each other and make friends. Many of the parents form long standing friendships and provide a great support network for each other. We also have evenings for parents/carers only and the occasional weekend away.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

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

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 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
