HOME-START EALING

Home-Start Ealing promotes the welfare of families under stress who have at least one child under 5 years of age. Volunteers offer regular emotional and practical support to families in their own homes, helping to prevent family crisis and breakdown. The charity also runs regular family groups and parenting classes to offer a supportive environment to parents and children in the borough.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • The Board appears to be 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
