HOME START HAVERING & REDBRIDGE LIMITED 

Home-Start Havering offers both emotional and practical support to families across the London Borough of Havering who have a child under the age of five by recruiting and training volunteers who are then matched with a family who they visit on a regular basis in their own home.
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 and gender

Financial issues to consider:

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