SALISBURY TRUST FOR THE HOMELESS LTD

The Charity provides shared accommodation for single homeless people in the Salisbury Area. It operates shared accomodation for rent and works with the local authority to find people in need of this accommodation.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and 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
