FAMILY CONTACT

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received
This charity is based in an area of extremely high deprivation

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there only 4 trustees?
The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
