HOPE COMMUNITY ALLOTMENT

HOPE Community Allotment's main activity involves running four allotment plots where adults with learning disabilities, autism, physical or mental ill-health, isolation, long-term unemployment and associated issues engage in a wide range of gardening activities, help with the maintenance our plots and grow organic fruit and vegetables.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

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
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
