JPC COMMUNITY FARM

We raise funds to provide support and activities for people with additional and complex needs. The activities include our JPC Independence Award a structured program designed to help adults with special/complex needs learn vital independent skills. Plus our JPC Animal Therapy activity which is helping young adults gain confidence through animal therapy and animal husbandry courses.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
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
The Board has little diversity in terms of age
Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
