CHILDREN'S AID TEAM

Children's Aid Team provides information, support, activities and services for children with learning disabilities and their families.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker

Financial issues to consider:

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