    IRIS-MAY BUTTERFLY KISSES 

    Iris-May Butterfly Kisses is set up in the Northamptonshire area and we help to support bereaved families after loss of their baby either through ectopic pregnancy, pregnancy loss and neo-natal loss. We do this by providing memory boxes for families to be able to dress their little one, have a blanket, teddy and some little keepsakes along side a card.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
    • The charity has received backing from a grant maker and there are significant future grants due to be received

    Financial issues to consider:

    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
    • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
    • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
    Established: 6 years
