Harry's Rainbow support children, young people and young adults 0-25 years, bereaved of a parent or sibling. We provide resources, books, memory boxes, therapeutic mentoring, a range of facilitated groups activities and trips and short breaks.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Financial issues to consider:

This Charity has changed registration and some of the financial and donation history pertains to the previous entity
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 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
