COLIN BENNETT CHARITABLE TRUST FOR THE HOMELESS

To relieve poverty of homeless people, those at risk of becoming homeless or those in insecure accommodation

Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
There are only 3 trustees
The Board is completely male
The Board composition appears to be very 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
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending

Established: 8 years
