THE WHITWORTH TRUST 

The Trust raises funds to support residents of Whitworth House, a hostel for homeless and vulnerable young women aged 16-25. It also raises money to help vulnerable and homeless women in Cambridge more generally, including women of any stage of life, with children or without, and offers assistance and support to women in finding and securing affordable accommodation.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • 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
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
