MUSEUM OF HOMELESSNESS

Museum of Homelessness operates nationally. MoH is an independent charity that is responsive to the day to day realities of homelessness. The museum has been created by people with direct experience of homelessness to collect and share the art, history and culture of homelessness and housing in order to change society today.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

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

Established: 8 years
