MAMMAKIND

The prevention or relief of poverty among socially and / or economically disadvantaged families who are unable to provide basic equipment, consumables, food, clothing and toys for children, particularly but not exclusively those aged under 2 years, by supplying with such items free of charge.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers 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
  • Why are there only 4 trustees?

Financial issues to consider:

  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
