HUGS CHILDRENS CANCER CHARITY

Hugs from Henry provide support to families with childhood cancer, neuroblastoma and childhood cancer in Plymouth and Cornwall. This is done through group events, hospital visits and new to 2019 our first respite home.We have regular contact with families through emotional advice, visits and events.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
