HOPE 4 KIDZ

Raising funds to support children and young people suffering from a physical or mental disability and in particular but not exclusively, the relief of sickness, the relief of poverty and the advancement of education.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Latest accounts are overdue for filing
Income has been volatile recently

Established: 17 years
(20 years as a company)
