HOME-START IOW

Home-Start I.O.W - A Voluntary organisation committed to promoting the welfare of families with children under five. Volunteers offer regular support, friendship and practical help to families experiencing difficulties, helping to prevent family crisis and breakdown. Support is also offered through group provision.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

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
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
