HINCKLEY HOMELESS GROUP 

Hinckley Homeless Group runs Lawrence House, a supported accommodation project for homeless young people in the Hinckley & Bosworth area of Leicestershire, plus a semi-supported Move-on House. We provide accommodation for 15 people between the ages of 16 and 26 of either sex. Residents can stay in each accommodation for up to 24 months. We provide support for young people with low-medium needs.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Established: 31 years
