    THE MARY HARE FOUNDATION 

    The objects of The Mary Hare Foundation are the relief of persons suffering from deafness and the advancement of education amongst the deaf. In practice the Foundation directs its support towards the deaf children attending the Mary Hare School, Mary Hare Primary School and the Burwood Centre in Newbury and those who benefit from Mary Hare's outreach work (reg. charity 1048386).
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently

    Financial issues to consider:

    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
    • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
    • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
    Established: 33 years
