THE FARAWAY CHILDRENS CHARITY 

Initial Short term service provision objectives for the charity are to distribute diverse resources to needy children and young people and to develop a bank of sustainable gifts to distribute to children and young people at Christmas & Easter.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely 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
  • Income has been volatile recently
