THE HUNTER CENTRE

Support, care, education and research for those suffering through dementia and related conditions in the Haslemere area with such adjoining areas as the Trustees may from time to time decide, and the operation of a day centre providing care for those with dementia and support for their families and carers with charitable activities as the trustees may in their discretion decide.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and 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
