FELINFOEL FAMILY CENTRE 

Felinfoel Family Centre offers informal family support to families with young children in the area. This is delivered through informal drop-in sessions, more structured courses, training and workshops, a lunch club and special events and trips.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender
  • This charity is based in an area of high deprivation

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
