THE FAMILY CENTRE FIELDWAY NEW ADDINGTON

The Family centre is based in an area characterised by high levels of social deprivation. Our mission is to support and strengthen families, children and residents so they can improve the educational, health , social and employment aspects of their life. We do this by working in partnership with voluntary and statutory agencies, making available a range of services for the benefit of the community
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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