HEARTS AND HELPERS

Working with communities across London, our mission is to provide essential goods and services to positively impact the lives of vulnerable people affected by all levels of homelessness.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending since inception
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there only 3 trustees?

Financial issues to consider:

Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
