HEART OF THE FATHER 

SMALL CHARITY, INFORMING YOUTH AND ADULTS IN UK CHURCHES & SCHOOLS, & RAISING FUNDS (ESPECIALLY WITH YOUNG PEOPLE), TO SUPPORT WORK WITH CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE IN THE PHILIPPINES. OUR UK BASED WORKER GOES THERE TWICE-YEARLY, TO SUPPORT THE WORK. WE SUPPORT 2 PROJECTS: YOUTH CENTRE IN MANILA; YOUTH & COMMUNITY WORK IN A FISHING VILLAGE IN NEGROS OCCIDENTAL.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is predominantly female

Financial issues to consider:

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