ST. VINCENT'S FAMILY PROJECT

The Project provides support for vulnerable families of children from 0-5 and creative arts and drama therapy for primary school children experiencing emotional difficulties.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
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 predominantly 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
