ARTS AND HOMELESSNESS INTERNATIONAL

We organise annual exchanges and events with the arts and homelessness community globallyWe run an ART (Advocacy, Research and Training) Laboratory which is a place to help the sector make the case for its work, produce research, resources, explore new models and ways of working and capacity building for projects and people working in this field.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been reasonable growth in spending since inception
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently
Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 4 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

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