BIG KIDS

BiG KIDS strives to support local schools in Middlesbrough in their delivery of Christian faith teaching. We hope to connect children and young people with their local parish church. We also aim to develop community through joining other projects focusing on simple acts of service. In addition we hope to facilitate collective learning as children and young people explore their journey of faith.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

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