CWTCH BABY BANK

Cwtch Baby Bank provides essential baby equipment, clothing, toys and toiletries for newborn babies up to 24 months old. We recycle good quality donations and redistribute them through the referral agents from Health , Social care and other relevant support agencies. This ensures all the donations received go directly to the people who need it.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

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