THE FOOTSTEP HOUSING TRUST 

The charity is about to receive a large donation from the recent sale of a large commercial development. These funds will be distributed to local homeless organisations for the provision of facilities and services.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 2 trustees
  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board composition appears to be very static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • This charity appears to be dormant
