LIVERPOOL HOMELESS FOOTBALL CLUB 

Using football as a means of social integration to combat the effects of homelessness
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 3 trustees
  • 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
(11 years as a company)
