WOOD STREET MISSION

We aim to alleviate the effects of poverty on children and their families in Manchester by offering practical help with clothing, bedding and baby equipment, and to break the cycle of poverty by encouraging engagement with education.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
This charity has a robust balance sheet
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £2,153,524 available, equivalent to 32 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
