PEAR TREE HOLIDAY CLUB (KIRKHAM) LTD 

Pear Tree Holiday Club provides childcare and respite for children of all abilities aged 3-16. Approximately one third of children attending the Holiday Club have learning difficulties and disabilities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely female
  • The Board composition appears to be very static

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 and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
