THE FAMILY HAVEN

We run a Gloucester-based day centre for vulnerable families with young children. We provide a nursery for pre-school children and practical help and guidance for their parents.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age 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 has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending

Established: 23 years
