Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of 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

Heart Of England Community Foundation - Grant to Elayos
£4,500	03/04/2020 3	We are benefitting local vulnerable people via our volunteers who have been procuring and purchasing what was needed and have been leaving the packages containing the above items at our clients' doors. However they have been paying for these items ....more We are benefitting local vulnerable people via our volunteers who have been procuring and purchasing what was needed and have been leaving the packages containing the above items at our clients' doors. However they have been paying for these items out of their own pockets and we need to reimburse them. We would like to upscale this project to be able to fulfil the need that has arisen and is increasing with some urgency. However we cannot do so due to lack of funding. It goes without saying that people should have access to the very basic or provisions and should be able to feed themselves and their children. Our clients are already vulnerable and this crisis is pushing them even further into that category.
National Lottery Community Fund - Elayos CIC
£9,760	25/07/2019 12	The funding will be used to deliver support services for expecting and new mothers. The project aims to address isolation and bring together women facing similar experiences.
