CALDERDALE LIGHTHOUSE

We are a 100% volunteer run Charity based in Halifax. We distribute equipment and other essential items to vulnerable and disadvantaged families throughout Calderdale and surrounding areas. The majority of our items are donated by the general public. Our service is free to use and accessed through a third party referral system.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly female

Financial issues to consider:

On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
