BUSHY LEAZE FAMILY SUPPORT

Our Family Support Team address the lack of provisions for families with children under 5 in Alton and East Hampshire in crisis situations, or in need of support to improve their child's quality of life and life chances. We do this through outreach work, targeted groups and one-to-one support.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers including the Government recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

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