THE NOTTINGHAM ARIMATHEA TRUST

To provide temporary housing for homeless refused asylum seekers in Nottingham while they prepare to submit fresh claims for asylum or access Section 4 accommodation; and to combat homelessness among those, mostly single people, recently granted asylum or refugee status. Additionally to provide supported housing to survivors of modern slavery and/or human trafficking from emergency referrals.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
  • Income was lower than spending in the latest year
