STANDING TALL CIO

Standing Tall works alongside people experiencing homelessness and matches them with employment opportunities enabling them to take control of their lives and move away from the streets for good.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
This charity is a recent Award Winner
There has been strong growth in spending since inception
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

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 was lower than spending in the latest year
