HOME-START GOOLE & DISTRICT

Home-Start is a national voluntary organisation which is committed to promoting the welfare of families with at least one child under the age of 8yrs. Volunteers visit families in their own homes each week, offering regular support, friendship and practical help. This family-centred support strengthens and empowers families, enabling them to find their own way forward through their difficulties.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 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 age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly female

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
