HELP BRISTOL'S HOMELESS CHARITY 

We believe that having a home is not an entitlement, it is a RIGHT. Our mission is to change the face of homelessness in Bristol. Through the support of our directors, trustees, volunteers and supporters our vision is to develop a site with thirty containers, converted into self-contained studio flats, providing temporary accommodation until a service user can find a more permanent home.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • The Board is predominantly male

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 recently
