HIGH PEAK HOMELESS HELP CIO 

We provide temporary accommodation: fully-equipped tents or B&B for homeless people in and around High Peak Borough Council, Derbyshire. We work with individuals to resolve the issues underlying their homelessness: outreach, mediation, signposting to / working with other agencies, provision of clothing and food. Other assistance such as support into tenancies.
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 a grant maker
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

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