SLOW - SUPPORTING BEREAVED PARENTS AND SIBLINGS

SLOW offers emotional and practical support to bereaved families that have lost a child in any circumstances. The charity currently provides support groups for bereaved parents when a child has died in the family; sibling support workshops for bereaved children that have lost a brother or sister and help and advice for professionals working with bereaved families.

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
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

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: 9 years
