KOL BONAICH

Helping kids in pain, teens at risk, preparing them with a route to a promising and fulfilling future by providing them with support, services, training and activities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • Why are there only 3 trustees?
  • Why is the Board composition very static?

Financial issues to consider:

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