COMMUNITY HOUSING AND THERAPY

Community Housing and Therapy is a charity that runs residential units for those with severe and enduring mental health difficulties. CHT's therapeutic and rehabilitative programme is designed to create a structure that will lead to recovery, employment and eventual independence.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
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 is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
Over half the Board have joined recently
