MEDWAY NIGHT SHELTER

Medway Night Shelter is run by Medway Churches and other concerned local groups to help homeless people with a connection to Medway. Originally set up to provide support during the coldest and most difficult time of the year, activities have expanded to include a year round project for homeless and vulnerably housed people, namely a drop in centre.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

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