THE HARVEY HEXT TRUST 

The charity supports bereaved families mostly by supplying Memory boxes but also treating bereaved siblings (under 25yrs) to days out and treats.The charity also aims to run a bereavement coffee morning in 2019
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive benefits from the charity
  • 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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 3 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
