ELSIE'S MOON

Elsie's Moon supports families when pregnancy doesn't follow the plan. Working primarily in Wirral and NW, with some support across UK.

Our beneficiaries include, but are not limited to families who have experienced loss at any gestation, babyloss, NICU and hospice stays.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity only provides its support via other charities
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
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
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 4 years and the current period appears to have been extended
Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
