THE BOAZ TRUST HAMPSHIRE LIMITED

Boaz exists to provide an excellent day services facility in Hampshire, midway Andover and Winchester, with related horticultural and other opportunities at which adults with learning disabilities may come together to be valued and productive. Its purpose is to give dignity and confidence in a happy, safe and supportive Christian environment enabling greater independence and social inclusion.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • 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
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
