VISION OF HOPE ANIMAL ASSISTED THERAPY 

Vision of Hope was started to enable young people who have suffered through abuse and addiction to receive animal-assisted therapy. The Directors, have opened their home on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park to give these young people shelter, support, and time spent with the animals at their farm. The therapy has proved to be very helpful in building trust and bonding with the animals.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 4 trustees
  • The Board is completely male
  • 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
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years
  • Income has been volatile recently but spending has been maintained
