CHERRYHOMES AND STARFISH TRUST 

We assist people with severe physical disabilities to maintain their personal independence in living as normal and fulfilled lives as possible in their own homes with the emphasis on adapting the home environment to cater for their needs.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly female

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 recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
