HAMMERSMITH UNITED CHARITIES

HUC exists to: a) operate almshouses, sheltered housing for those in need within the area of benefit; b) use its 'relief in need' power to alleviate poverty within its area of benefit.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker recently
This charity has a robust balance sheet
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
This charity uses a corporate trustee

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £11,185,252 available, equivalent to 64 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
