Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers 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 predominantly female
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data

Specialised Parent-Infant Relationship Teams Support

Objectives: To address the root causes of parent-infant relationship difficulties by supporting the development of secure, nurturing relationships between parents and their babies

Description: The Parent Infant Foundation support the growth and quality of specialised parent-infant relationship teams across the UK. This stems from their experience directly funding six pioneering teams from 2013 to set up new or expand their existing services.

The teams are multidisciplinary with expertise in parent-infant relationships. They undertake skilled one-to-one therapy based work with families struggling to form a secure relationship with their baby. They focus both on the needs of parents and carers, the individual babies, and the relationship between them. They also undertake group work and drive system change through training, supervision and consultation with other services and influence local strategy and policies
