THE THOMAS THEYER FOUNDATION

We support children and young people with additional needs and those living with difficult life circumstances such as, young carers or those who have suffered a family bereavement, by providing access to outdoor activities, recognising the mental and physical health benefits. Additionally we aim to support their families and carers by providing respite breaks.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • Why are there only 4 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
