SCRUBDITCH CARE FARM

We advance the education of adults and young people with learning difficulties, challenging behaviours, or mental health problems through the provision of training and experience in agriculture, horticulture and other related skills. We develop the capacity and skills of the beneficiaries so they are better able to identify and help meet their needs and to participate more fully in society.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

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

Established: 11 years
