THE HOLIDAY HOMES TRUST

The Scout Holiday Homes Trust was founded in 1969 by former Scouts to provide suitable self-catering holiday accommodation, in a welcoming family environment, for any family, or group, who has a member with special needs with their carers, single parent families and low income families ? in fact any family in which the quality of life is diminished by disability, infirmity or misfortune.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
