WILLIAM BLAKE HOUSE NORTHANTS

Residential care provision for young adults with learning disabilities, located in rural village communities. The Charity has four care homes, plus a transition home for challenging needs. We embrace the principles and ethos of Rudolf Steiner. The organisation also provides day care services in an urban farm setting, with a choice of learning activities including horticulture and animal nurturing.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Reserves management has been consistently within official guidelines
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 3 trustees
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
Latest accounts are overdue for filing
