THE MARY HARE FOUNDATION

The objects of The Mary Hare Foundation are the relief of persons suffering from deafness and the advancement of education amongst the deaf. In practice the Foundation directs its support towards the deaf children attending the Mary Hare School, Mary Hare Primary School and the Burwood Centre in Newbury and those who benefit from Mary Hare's outreach work (reg. charity 1048386).

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of 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
There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
