EVELYN'S GIFT

We provide and promote CPR and Lifesaving skills training through schools, colleges, councils and community groups. We carry out little acts of kindness including providing toiletry items to homeless people, young people living in hostel accommodation and victims of domestic violence. We provide bereavement resources for children and items to help families affected by the death of a child.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

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