CASCADE BABY BUNDLES CIO

Relief of poverty by providing clothing, equipment, toys, books, bedding etc donated from families who no longer need them and redistributing to families experiencing financial hardship. Referrals are received from healthcare professionals who have assessed the genuine need of the family. They collect the items on behalf of the family; the charity has no direct contact with the families supported.

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

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
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
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
