SCOPE WEST SUSSEX 

Our mission is to involve, support, and develop people with physical disabilities, particularly cerbral palsy in West Sussex, their families and carers, by providing a focal point for individuals to meet as well as activities and training, and to run a day resource centre for the development of skills, friendship, and support.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Financial issues to consider:

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