THE PROVIDENCE HOUSE TRUST 

The Providence House Trust is a merger of 2 previous trusts (PHT est 1963 & PHYC est 1969). Based in north Battersea, we continue to be passionate about improving the lives and outcomes for young people. We aim to provide social, recreational, sporting and educational activities in a weekly programme and during school holidays for young people aged 5-25 years.

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending since inception
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Financial issues to consider:

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