THE FORUM IS ESTABLISHED TO PROMOTE AND IMPROVE THE EFFICIENCY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF REGISTERED CHARITIES IN HUNTINGDONSHIRE AND THE SURROUNDING AREA IN DIRECT PURSUIT OF THIER OBJECTIVES, BY THE PROVISION OF ADVICE, TRAINING AND INFORMATION ON THE EFFICIENT AND PROFESSIONAL MANAGEMENT OF RESOURCES.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
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
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity only provides its support via other charities
The Board is predominantly female

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
