SOLIHULL CHURCHES ACTION ON HOMELESSNESS

The activities of SCAH are aimed at relieving poverty within the Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council area and surrounding areas, in particular but not exclusively, by providing assistance to homeless people

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
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
