THE HONEYPOT CHILDREN'S CHARITY 

The Charity is dedicated to improving the quality of life of severely disadvantaged children (5 - 12 Yrs) by offering them respite breaks at the Honeypot House in the New Forest and our new house in County Powys, Wales , plus a wider programme of long term support. This includes regular visits by the Honeypot Outreach team.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be very static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • This charity appears to be dormant
Established: 32 years
