The charity operates in the RC Diocese of Plymouth & in accordance with its core values of love, justice & forgiveness it*supports families by providing a free parenting programme*makes grants to children and families in dire need*encourages children to think about the needs of others less fortunate

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

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
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
