HOME-START CRAVEN

INCREASE THE CONFIDENCE AND INDEPENDENCE OF VULNERABLE FAMILIES BUILDING STRONG AND SUSTAINABLE SOCIAL NETWORKS, HARNESSING THE VOLUNTEER CAPACITY WITHIN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY. FAMILIES, WITH THE SUPPORT OF THEIR VOLUNTEER ARE MORE LIKELY TO ACCESS HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE SERVICES, DEVELOP THEIR PARENTING SKILLS, GROW IN CONFIDENCE AND BE MORE ABLE TO ACCESS ACTIVITIES AND OPPORTUNITIES.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

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