FRESH INSPIRATION

Fresh Inspiration is a charity that is focused on activities (including fundraising) that alleviate the root causes of poverty and deprivation around the world. Our aim is to be effective, relevant and responsive; working in the best interest of all our key stakeholders.

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
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:

There are only 4 trustees
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
