TELL IT PARENTS NETWORK 

We facilitate a localised parents network from our office in North Westminster. A core service is our weekly Drop In where local people can access information, advice, guidance & education on a range of issues & peer support; with some 1:1 follow up appointments. We advocate community based learning and offer workshops in e.g. English, Sewing & basic IT & a range of activities aimed at well-being.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely 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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
