PROJECT JOHN LIMITED

Project John offers housing and support to young people aged 16-25.We offer training to young people on tenancy managment, by attending this course young people are more knowledgable to housing and tenancy regulations, preventing future homelessness
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 3 trustees?
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income was lower than spending in the latest year
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
