HORIZON LIFE TRAINING

Horizon Life Training is a Christian charity that operates to help former drug and alchohol dependants back into the community and to a work life by providing them with counselling, support, life and employment skills training, and facilities for work and recreation. This is carried out as a practical outworking of the Christian faith, operating from a residential care farm in North Yorkshire.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
There are only 4 trustees
The Board is completely male
The Board composition appears to be rather static and has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

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

Established: 14 years
