SHAK (SAFE HOMES AND KINDNESS)

To relieve the suffering of large breeds of dogs in need of care and attention, and, in particular, to provide and maintain rescue homes or other facilities for the reception, care and treatment of such large dogs.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received Government grants
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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
There are only 2 trustees

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Established: 16 years
