HOLLY HEDGE ANIMAL SANCTUARY

The object of the charity is the care, protection and rehabilitation of unwanted and feral animals. Whilst based on the outskirts of Bristol our area of coverage is basically where required.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
This charity has a robust balance sheet
This charity has received more than half of its income from legacies in recent years
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £5,949,892 available, equivalent to 86 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
