JUSTUS 

To promote the relief of need for the homeless or vulnerably housed by providing advice, advocacy and support.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently

Financial issues to consider:

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