CARE FOR THE FAMILY

Care for the Family's aim is to strengthen and support family life. We provide relationship education and support in three key areas: marriage, parenting and bereavement. Activities include day and evening events, activity holidays and residential breaks, marriage and parenting courses, volunteer telephone befrienders, and books, DVDs and other resources to strengthen family life.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
This charity has a robust balance sheet
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
Fundraising costs are low relative to funds raised
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appeared to be considerably in excess of CC guidelines at the latest year end especially considering the historic stability of income
