FRIENDSHIP WORKS 

Friendship Works (previously Friends United Network) supports children (5-16) from families in London who are facing a range of long-term difficulties. Each child referred to Friendship Works is matched with an adult volunteer who takes them out once a week for 3-4 hours. Volunteers commit to a support a child for a minimum of 2 years.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • This charity appears to be dormant
