FAMILY BASED SOLUTIONS 

Family Based Solutions supports parent/carers who are abused by their children in Enfield, Haringey and Barnet. We aim to raise awareness of this mainly hidden form of abuse. We support the whole family to end the abuse in the home and improve family relationships. We support families who are survivors of domestic abuse with the aim of ending the inter-generational cycle of abuse.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • The Board appears to be well diversified 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
Established: 12 years
