LEICESTER CHILDREN'S HOLIDAYS

TO PROVIDE A RESPITE SHORT BREAK AND HOLIDAYS FOR CHILDREN AGED 6-16 WHO ARE IN NEED BY REASON OF POVERTY, DISABILITY OR OTHER SOCIAL OR ECONOMIC DISADVANTAGE IN LEICESTERSHIRE AND THE WIDER EAST MIDLANDS.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
