KINSHIP CARERS 

Our project supports families raising children when their biological parents can no longer do so due to alcohol and drug misuse, bereavement, imprisonment, mental health issues etc. We support the young person and the kinship carers offering respite, one to one and group work, training courses, coffee mornings, pamper days.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly female

Financial issues to consider:

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