The principal activities of the charity are the support or promotion of any other charitable purpose for the relief of poverty, the advancement of education (including vocational training), the advancement of religion or any other charitable purpose for the benefit of the community of Haltwhistle and the surrounding hinter land
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

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