HOME-START TEESSIDE

Home - Start offers support, friendship and practical help to parents with young children, in local communities. Volunteers, who are usually parents themselves are recruited and trained to visit families at home who have at least one child under 5, to offer them informal, friendly and confidential support.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 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 and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
