OUR ANGEL BEARS

Raising awareness of pregnancy and infant loss by supporting health care workers in providing care by gifting keepsakes and collaborating with charities to provide care to patients using their services when experiencing pregnancy loss.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker 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

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 2 years and the current period appears to have been extended
