THE HERTFORDSHIRE COUNTY FEDERATION OF YOUNG FARMERS' CLUBS

We are a rural youth organisation in the county of Hertfordshire. We aim to promote social & personal development of young people between the ages of 10-28 years, by offering a wide range of training and activities including skills for life, travel, sport, floral arranging, curve modules, socialising and many more. We also hold various fund raising events to raise money for local charities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

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