ENCOMPASS

Encompass provides support, resources and advice to those who are facing poverty, homelessness and addiction. We do this through the provision of accommodation services, rehabilitation accommodation, foodbanks and a day centre.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
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 including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end

Established: 11 years
