CARMARTHEN FAMILY CENTRE

Our role at Carmarthen Family Centre is to support families with young children by working in partnership to enhance family life and to offer opportunities for parents and children to improve their lives through education - empowering individuals and strengthening the communities in which they live.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender
This charity is based in an area of high deprivation

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
