CORNWALL HUGS 

Currently focussed on arranging respite holidays for those affected by Grenfell Tower Fire: firefighters, survivors, the bereaved, displaced neighbours, front line support workers
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • 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
