HOME-START SPELTHORNE

We support Spelthorne families with at least one child under five who are experiencing difficulties. We match each family with a trained volunteer who visits weekly, becomes a family friend, and offers emotional and practical support to help the family solve their problems.

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

The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly female

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 was lower than spending in the latest year

Established: 9 years
