HOLY TRINITY NIGHT SHELTER & COMMUNITY OUTREACH

The charity operates a winter night shelter, providing overnight accommodation and food for rough sleepers and the homeless. It works, year round, to support users with other aspects of their lives. These include drug, alcohol and mental health issues, financial guidance and "move on" housing options.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
Over half the Board have joined 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 recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year

Established: 5 years
