THE MOUNT CAMPHILL COMMUNITY LIMITED

The charity is part of the Association of Camphill Communities and was established specifically dedicated to serving the needs of young people with learning difficulties over the age of 16, in their transition to adulthood by creating community through living, learning and working. The Mount is guided by the principles of Dr Karl Konig, and is based on anthroposophy inspired by Rudolf Steiner.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is completely male

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appeared to be considerably in excess of CC guidelines at the latest year end especially considering the historic stability of income
