DOORSTEP

The relief of poverty and distress and the advancement of education of persons resident in Camden and the surrounding area in particular those who are homeless or living in temporary accommodation.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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