The Family Centre provides a warm, friendly and safe environment, which aims to increase the resilience of children and their families to the problems faced by living in a deprived rural area through activities that are planned to meet specific needs of the child and their families.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker

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
