HOME-START ELMBRIDGE

We offer support to families living in the Borough of Elmbridge in Surrey who have a child under 5 years old. Most families are referred to us by health visitors or social workers. Support is usually provided by weekly two-hour visits from a volunteer and the type of support will be decided upon by the family in consultation with the volunteer.

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
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
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
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
Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year

Established: 15 years
