THE RIVER HOUSE TRUST

CARE AND SUPPORT SERVICES TO LOCAL INDIVIDUALS AFFECTED BY HIV

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently and there are significant future grants due to be received
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
