THE HERTFORDSHIRE COUNTY FEDERATION OF YOUNG FARMERS' CLUBS 

We are a rural youth organisation. We aim to promote social & personal development of young people between the ages of 10-28 years, by offering a wide range of training and activities including skills for life, travel, sport, socialising and many more. We also hold various fund raising events to raise money for local charities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker recently
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • 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
