WORKSOP AND RETFORD HOUSING PROJECT LIMITED

New Roots provides supported accommodation in Bassetlaw & Newark & Sherwood to homeless and vulnerably housed young people between 16-21yrs. We work with single young people, couples and young parents. It is the aim of New Roots to support all service users in the development of independent living skills and making the transition to suitable and permanent accommodation within their own community
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Reserves management has been consistently within official guidelines
  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • 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 gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static
