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:

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