PARTNERSHIP FOR CHILDREN

The charity promotes the mental health and well-being of young children . Their Skills for Life programmes are running in schools and kindergartens in the UK and internationally and have helped more than 2 million children. The charity also provides information for teachers and parents to support the health and well-being of children at www.partnershipforchildren.org.uk.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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