THE HOPMARKET CHARITY 

The income from the assets of the Charity is held on trust to apply the same for the benefit of needy persons in the City of Worcester. Needy persons are defined for the purposes of the Charity as persons who by reason of poverty, sickness or infirmity whether young or old are in need of financial assistance, care or attention.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

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