In 2008, 87p of every £1 donated was used to support the disability movements in Africa and Asia.
Due to the economic recession ADDs income fell by 13% in 2008. Despite the fall in income we were able to control and even reduce our UK costs to the extent that 87% of our income was used to support our programme activities in Africa and Asia. The remaining 13% covered the cost of administration, governance, audit and statutory compliance issues as well as the marketing required to sustain the level of public donations through the recession.
The total income for 2008 was £3,848,328. £1,280,674 came from public donations and other income and £2,567,654 were grants from governments, institutions and trusts, including:
