HOME-START BRADFORD DISTRICT

Home-Start Bradford District is a preventative & early help service offering confidential, support, friendship and practical help to families who have at least one child under the age of 5 years. They recruit, train and support volunteers, all of whom have parenting experience, to home visit families who are experiencing difficult times and promote self-esteem, confidence and encourage self-help.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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