THE HOSKING HOUSE TRUST

We offer women writers (aged over forty) occupancy of Church Cottage for between two weeks and two months, to pursue personal work on any subject, intended for publication or performance. Appointments are made on merit. The Cottage is in Clifford Chambers, a village two miles from Stratford-upon-Avon. It is equipped comfortable and private. We pay bills and occasionally offer a bursary.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

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
Income has been volatile recently

Established: 25 years
