CHILDREN FIRST FAMILY MEDIATION

A specialist not for profit family mediation service

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 3 trustees
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
Spending is declining
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending

Children are encouraged to voice their own concerns and desires rather than suppressing their own needs for the sake of one or both parents. The aim is to support the children first and foremost, and then the family unit as a whole.
