    THE KEARNS FOUNDATION 

    Established to make a positive contribution to personal development for community benefit through: a small grants programme (Max 250.00) supporting young people, community volunteers and groups, a programme of training and support for voluntary organisations and new groups and the management of a residential activity centre and campsite (established under reg no 1156557 and incorporated in 2017)
    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

    Financial issues to consider:

    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
    • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
    miles
