Financial data as at March 2026. Sourced from Charities Services register.

NR
Not rated — Structural balance-sheet — standard template does not apply

This charity has reported liabilities exceeding assets for two or more consecutive years. That pattern is common and structural for retirement villages (occupation-right-agreement bonds recorded as liabilities), iwi treaty-settlement vehicles (future-obligation accruals), and infrastructure trusts with Crown loan principal — it does not indicate financial distress, but our standard reserve-months scoring template does not apply. The charity's figures are shown above.

Reasons to look carefully (1)

These structural observations are drawn from public data and are worth considering before a donation. They are not allegations of wrongdoing, and they don’t affect the charity’s letter grade.

  • No chair recorded on the register
    No chair or presiding role is recorded in the register for this board of 5. The Charities Register does not require one to be identified, so this is a gap in the public record rather than a finding about the board.

Each signal is a data-driven observation, not a judgement. They fire automatically from the figures filed with Charities Services. A charity can address any of these by filing fuller disclosure or updating its officer register. Methodology: /about/methodology/concern-signals.
