LIVING ON BEREAVEMENT SERVICE

Living On supports children and young people and their families in Orpington, Kent when someone they love has died. We run grief groups throughout the year that aim to bring families and children together in order that they feel they are not alone. We also have a Buddy service which is when a family has just lost a loved one, we connect with the family and provide support.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
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
