BRIGHT HORIZONS FOUNDATION FOR CHILDREN (UK)

We create Bright Spaces: enriching indoor and outdoor play environments for children who are disadvantaged as a consequence of abuse, parental imprisonment, domestic violence, homelessness and ill health.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending

Established: 18 years
