FAMILIES FIRST SOUTHAMPTON

Families First Southampton assists fathers & kinship carers in Southampton, providing outreach support and developing support groups. Support is particularly offered to grandparent carers, young fathers, non-resident fathers and fathers where there is a illness/disability in the family. We work to maintain positive communication within the wider family. Safeguarding is embedded in all our work.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board composition appears to be rather static

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

Established: 8 years
