THE BODIE HODGES FOUNDATION 

We support families bereaved of a child (any age) by providing a free stay at Bodie's Boathouse. Bodie's Boathouse is a luxurious lakeside lodge that offers peace and tranquility for grieving families.We actively campaign to raise awareness of the Organ Donor Register and incease the number of people who sign up.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

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