TEN LITTLE TOES BABY BANK 

Operating like a foodbank, giving out bundles of essential items to people who need them in our community. We support people who are pregnant or looking after children. We provide free (mostly pre-loved) baby and child equipment and supplies, including clothing, nappies, prams, car seats, cots and bedding and safety equipment such as highchairs and stair gates.
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
  • 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
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
