THE BRISTOL CHILDREN'S HELP SOCIETY 

Provision, at its purpose built residential centre, of free & highly subsidised respite and educational breaks for disadvantaged children from Bristol and the surrounding area.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

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
Established: 22 years
