HOPE AND VISION COMMUNITIES

Hope and vision will carry out its purposes, for the public benefit, by offering supported housing to those in recovery from addiction who have completed a residential treatment programme. We will be doing this by offering accomodation with 1-1 key working, house groups, structured cleaning rotas, and 12 step fellowship meetings. Hope and Vision Communities has a Christian ethos.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently and there are significant future grants due to be received
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
