HOME-START IN WAVERLEY 

Home-Start in Waverley offers support to parents with young children within the borough of Waverley and its environs. Volunteers, who are parents themselves, are recruited and trained to visit families with at least one child under five, at home, and offer them informed, friendly and confidential support
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There has been reasonable growth in spending 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 dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age
  • 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
Established: 17 years
