SHEPHERDS BUSH FAMILIES PROJECT & CHILDRENS CENTRE 

Deliver services to families living in temporary unsuitable acommodation. We run a drop-in for parents & children, respite playgroup, after school club. Families have access to one to one advice, social work & counselling support, adult groups and classes, cooking & laundry facilities. During school holidays activities are provided for school age children and annual summer programme for families.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • 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 gender 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
  • Income was lower than spending in the latest year
Established: 24 years
