HARRISON HOUSING 

Relief of the aged poor by provision of housing and associated amenities and housing management services provided to other almshouse charities
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • 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
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £3,289,929 available, equivalent to 25 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
