JAMIE'S FARM

Jamie's Farm transforms the lives of vulnerable children between the ages of 10-16 by working closely with our partner schools, providing a combination of 'farming, family and therapy' through a unique residential and follow-up programme. We re-engage children with educational life and enable them to fulfil their potential both in school and the wider social setting.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
Fundraising costs are low relative to funds raised
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

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
