BRAVE HEARTS OF THE NORTH EAST

To provide for the benefit of children under sixteen years on the 1st January in any particular year of benefit who have displayed exceptional character in overcoming serious sickness or injury and who are deserving of an award to recognise such achievement.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
There are 16 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
