CENTRAL ENGLAND LIPREADING SUPPORT TRUST

The Charity's aim is to promote Lipreading courses for people who have hearing loss. Our activities include raising funds in order to ensure that these courses are able to run free of charge, so that all deafened people can attend, regardless of means. Other activities include promoting the courses, so that we can reach as many deafened people in the Coventry & Warwickshire areas as possible.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
Over half the Board have joined recently

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: 9 years
