MEGAN BAKER HOUSE LTD

To advance the education and relieve suffering of children and adults with motor disorders and provide information, advice, training and guidance to their families, carers and other stakeholders in their wellbeing, in particular by means of conductive education.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending

Established: 13 years
(17 years as a company)
