    THE KINGSTON AND DISTRICT WEL-CARE ASSOCIATION 

    Kingston Welcare strives to provide a warm, caring, safe and stimulating environment where parents and children are supported by each other, and project staff offer activities which are designed to make families stronger. The project supports local parents who are seeking support with their parenting skills. The project offers both universal and targeted services to vulnerable families.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently

    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
    • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
