THE HIGHBALL TRUST (BIRMINGHAM) 

To provide country holidays for under-privileged children from the Birmingham area. The trust is geared to help those families and groups who have limited financial resources. Weekend holidays for children are organised and run by teams of volunteers, who give freely of their time for the benefit of the children. The cost of these holidays is subsidised by the trust.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
miles
