BOSH; BRISTOL OUTREACH SERVICES FOR THE HOMELESS

To relieve the needs of persons, who are in need, by virtue of being homeless or rough sleepers in Bristol, through the provision of support, advocacy and basic necessities for survival
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There have been multiple defaults for filing returns
  • Why are there only 3 trustees?
  • Why is the Board completely female?
  • The Board composition appears to be rather 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
