ST MATTHEW'S HOUSE LIMITED

To help people with mental health difficulties make the transition into mainstream society equipped with the skills and social networks necessary for a meaningful and hope-filled life. This is achieved by delivering pottery and art classes in a beautiful bespoke facility that is shared by the general public. The shared activities create a non-stigmatising and asset based approach to mental health.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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

Financial issues to consider:

  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • Spending is declining
  • Income has been volatile recently
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
