OUNDLE MENCAP HOLIDAYS LTD

The Oundle School Mencap Holiday runs an annual residential holiday for children and young people with learning and/or physical difficulties. The holiday is staffed and co-ordinated entirely by volunteers and is reliant on charitable funding for its continued existence.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
