The Foundation aims to support families through a range of activities and groups, designed to promote psychological and emotional wellbeing and to improve family relationships

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there only 4 trustees?

Financial issues to consider:

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