POSITIVE BIRTHING AND BEYOND CIO

We currently offer services to women and their families in Birmingham and Solihull. The services we deliver are to help empower women for preparing for birth and parenting. We deliver a range of workshops to help prepare for infant feeding, positive birth choices and parenting. We also offer one to one support to vulnerable women and online support to women in a private forum.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why is the Board completely female?

Financial issues to consider:

Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
