HARROW TOGETHER

Harrow Together is a consortium working to strengthen the voluntary & community sector.We provide an opportunity for Harrow organisations to work in partnership to secure larger contracts.Harrow Giving funds, supports and empowers a range of diverse local projects to make a positive difference in the lives of Harrow residents.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity only provides its support via other charities
Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
