BETWS FAMILY CENTRE

Betws Family Centre provides a safe, non-judgmental, homely environment for families to meet others, for parents to receive mutual support and for children to gain valuable childhood experiences. The primary focus of the centre is to work with children and families to reduce stress, prevent family breakdown and support families to enable them to continue to live together in their community.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly female

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: 22 years
