HOMELESS IN TEIGNBRIDGE SUPPORT

The Relief of poverty amongst people who are, or may soon be, homeless or inadequately housed, through support programmes, advice and assistance concerning accommodation, food, clothing, hygiene and other basic needs.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

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