SOMEWHERE TO GO LIMITED

To relieve poverty and distress among the most disadvantaged in the community, by providing a space where people can feel welcome and comfortable and create an environment which will enhance self worth & self esteem. To offer nourishing food, clothing; to facilitate access to medical & welfare services; help with housing and benefits.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
  • 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 age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently
  • Returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

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