DISABILITY AID TRUST (DAT) FORMERLY KNOWN AS HANDICAPPED AID TRUST (HAT)

The object of the trust is to help disabled people to take a holiday of their choice, by providing or assisting in the provision of finance for necessary carers, this is when the applicant although able to pay for their own holiday, is unable to provide funds to pay for the cost of a carer, the carer can not find all the costs and the costs are not available from elsewhere.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

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

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 4 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
