We train, equip and support hosts and work in partnership with local communities across the UK to provide safe and stable accommodation for survivors of modern slavery vulnerable to homelessness. We work in partnership with professional partner agencies who support the survivor and Hope at Home support the hosts.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There has been strong growth in spending since inception
  • There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly female
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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