THE HUB YEOVIL COMMUNITY SUPPORT CHARITY

The Hub is a social enterprise, delivering innovative person-centred and vocational skills-development training for people with learning disabilities and difficulties to enjoy employment and active citizenship. Work-coaches support vulnerable people to thrive and enjoy 'real' working lives in the charity's trading companies and to learn new skills as part of the charity's micro-enterprises.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
Fundraising costs are low relative to funds raised
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
