HOME-START SURREY HEATH 

Provides support to families with at least one child under five years of age, who are undergoing stress or difficulties for any reason. Training, support and supervision is provided to home-visiting volunteers, who visit the referred families in their home for 2-3 hours per week. Managed by paid office staff under the supervision of a board of trustees.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and a Community Foundation
  • 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 recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
Established: 18 years
