GLOUCESTER CITY MISSION

Gloucester City Mission seeks to give practical help to rough sleepers, the homeless, those who are vulnerable or marginalised members of the local community. It is an alliance of Christians working together to share the love of Christ in Gloucester through witness in the neighbourhood and on the streets.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending

Established: 18 years
