HOME-START BIRMINGHAM SOUTH 

We offer support and friendship to families experiencing difficulties with at least one child under five. We prepare volunteers who all have parenting experience to visit families in their own homes to offer support and friendship. The volunteers support will be wide and varied and will be between 1 hour - 4 hours a week.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • 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 gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static and has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing
Established: 18 years
