WALLSEND KINSHIP CARERS

Wallsend Kinship Carers was initially set up in 2015. The main aim was to provide 1-2-1 support by fortnightly meetings for those caring for their grandchildren/other relative's children. Many of these kinship children had been traumatised in early life. During holidays they meet weekly and provide activities/entertainment for their kids, KC have no surplus funds so we are constantly fundraising.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
There are only 4 trustees
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
