ANIMAL CONCERN CUMBRIA 

We are an animal rescue and rehoming charity, operating within and around Cumbria. We aim to help neglected or unwanted animals, and to arrange for the provision of good homes for them. It is our policy never to put down an animal except where legally required or on the advice of a veterinary surgeon.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants
  • This charity has received more than half of its income from legacies in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 4 trustees
  • The Board composition appears to be rather 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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
