THE SADIE CENTRE

We run over 80 classes each week teaching techniques drawn from complementary approaches to health alongside a complementary therapy clinic, a large counselling service, a Hertfordshire-wide, award-winning wellbeing programme for older people with mobility problems or who are living with long-term conditions and a programme introducing Mindfulness into local schools.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There have been no material income shortfalls 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:

This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
