TABOR CENTRE

Tabor Centre provides day care facilities for disabled adults, at the same time allowing respite for family carers. The emphasis is on enabling, independent living and rehabilitation, and members can benefit from classwork, recreational activities, advice and support, and outreach services.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 4 trustees
The Board is completely 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
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending

Established: 20 years
