Tower House Horses CIO works with young people and adults in Hampshire and the surrounding area to promote mental and emotional health and wellbeing, and rehabilitation, through the provision of equine assisted learning.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
  • The Board is predominantly female

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
