TIME 4 CHILDREN

Time 4 Children provides emotional listening support for vulnerable children who have either emotional and/or behaviour problems, through T4C using 'Non-Directive Play' techniques and 'Reflective Listening Skills'.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending

Play progresses to talking about their thoughts and feelings whilst being in a safe and calm setting. Many children describe how their 'special hour' calms them down, makes them feel safe, reduces their anger and makes them feel valued. The project will also run workshops for parents and carers in the basic skills of reflective listening so they can listen and engage better with their children.
