LIGHTHOUSE (WEST YORKSHIRE)

Lighthouse strives to support those battered and bruised by the storms of life such as addicts, homeless and ex-offenders. It seeks to share God's love in an inclusive way, creating a supportive community accessible to all who wish to join.We work in partnership with St George's Crypt and St George's Church to offer individual pastoral support and actively facilitate access other services.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
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

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
