GLOUCESTERSHIRE BUNDLES

The relief of poverty in the county of Gloucestershire to families in crisis through the provision of toiletries, maternity items and clothes, baby and children's clothing, nursery items, books, toys and safety equipment after a referral has been made by a professional who has deemed the family to be 'in need'

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no 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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
One or more trustees receive benefits from the charity
The Board is predominantly female

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: 7 years
