THE FOUR STREETS PROJECT

The Four Streets Project provides support to people sleeping out on the streets of Chichester, West Sussex and the vulnerably housed. We are a group of volunteers, made up of local residents who provide a nightly supper club service every night. We provide food and drinks (& coats, sleeping bags, boots as needed). We also signpost people sleeping out to local services providing support.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker

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
