THE MOTHERS' UNION - GLOUCESTER DIOCESE 

Help is given by members to the Prison Play Area at Leyhill Prison; to the Mother and Baby Unit at Eastwood Park Prison; to Parenting Courses and to a Child Contact Centre at Cheltenham and at Gloucester. Some branches run mother and toddler groups in their parishes and some assist with marriage preparation courses and run lunch clubs for the elderly.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is completely female
  • Over half the Board have joined 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
