HALO LEISURE SERVICES LIMITED

To provide or assist in the provision of facilities for recreation or other leisure time occupation in the interests of social welfare with the intention of improving the conditions of life of those using the facilities; to carry out any other charitable activity subject to the prior written consent of the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

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 and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
The Board has little diversity in terms of age
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
