The relief of poverty and distress among people including (but not restricted to) those who have become homeless as a result of release from prison, addiction issues, or relationship break ups, through the provision of a night shelter refuge, counseling, advice, guidance and other services which are responsive to their needs and in accordance with Biblical principles.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years
  • Income has been volatile recently and was substantially in excess of spending in the latest year
