CHILDRENS HOPE FOUNDATION

Children's Hope Foundation aims to improve the health and wellbeing of children and young people and their families, throughout the UK, disadvantaged by a terminal illness, disability or poverty, improving their quality of life and ensuring they have the opportunity to achieve their full potential. We do this by raising funds to provide equipment, facilities and/or support where it is needed most

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there only 3 trustees?
The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

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