EMMAUS PRESTON

Establishment of an Emmaus Community for Homeless People at The Birches Ribbleton Lane Preston purchased by the Charity in January 2007. Warehouses and shops are operated by the Community to help fund the costs.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has a robust balance sheet
More than half of total income was derived from trading and fees in the latest year
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly male
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appeared to be in excess of CC guidelines at the latest year end especially considering the historic stability of income
Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised

Established: 25 years
