HOPE COMMUNITY SERVICES

HOPE supports those who are, or are in danger of becoming, homeless. Our Crisis Services include Nottinghamshire?s only directly accessible Emergency Accommodation Hostel, where someone can knock on the door and get a bed for the night. HOPE operates move-on supported accommodation for those ready for a place of their own. We also offer a support service to those in danger of losing their home.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has a robust balance sheet
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 3 trustees
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appeared to be considerably in excess of CC guidelines at the latest year end
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Established: 14 years
