    PARENT CLUB 

    Parent Club delivers Kitchen Clubs, where parents with pre-school children meet to prepare and share healthy, easy to cook food. They are designed to improve mental wellbeing through supporting parents to make new connections, learn new skills and make a positive contribution. Improved skills in healthy eating and parenting are also key outcomes. We currently work across North-East London.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
    • 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

    Financial issues to consider:

    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
