THE RED HOUSE, STEPNEY (INCORPORATED) 

The company manages its freehold property, known as Hoppers, at Five Oak Green, Tonbridge, Kent. The premises are used by self-catering groups engaged in the relief of poverty from the East End of London and elsewhere
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity only provides its support via other charities
  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

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
