REDWINGS HORSE SANCTUARY

Redwings operates sanctuaries and rehoming across England, Scotland and Wales. Our primary purpose is to provide and promote the welfare, protection and care of horses, ponies donkeys and mules that have suffered from maltreatment, neglect or poor circumstances, through rescue, rehabilitation and sanctuary care, and by educating people

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received Government grants
This charity has a robust balance sheet
This charity has received more than half of its income from legacies in recent years
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £35,645,613 available, equivalent to 30 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
Fundraising costs are high relative to funds raised

Established: 26 years
