HOME-START HARINGEY, HACKNEY AND WALTHAM FOREST 

HSHH & WF is a voluntary organisation committed to promoting the welfare of children, young people and families. We recruit and train volunteers who offer support, friendship and practical help to families under stress in their homes and online, helping prevent family crisis and breakdown. The training and experience the volunteers receive gives a basis for further education and work opportunities
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • 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 age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is completely 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 recently
