THE SEPARATED CHILD FOUNDATION

The Separated Child Foundation offers emotional, social, financial and physical support to separated children and young people up to the age of 21. It also engages in educational activities that raise awareness of their needs and encourage positive responses to them.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
