HOME-START WINCHESTER AND DISTRICTS 

We offer support, friendship and practical help to parents with young children who are going through difficult times, e.g. isolation, ill-health, relationship difficulties, coping with twins or triplets, lone parenting, first time parenthood and children's behavioural problems, achieved through a combination of home-visting support by trained volunteers, group work and social events.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Established: 19 years
