HOUSING THE HOMELESS CENTRAL FUND 

The trustees fulfil the charity's objectives by processing applications only from accredited social work agencies supporting clients in need, hardship and distress in three categories: those who are in danger of losing their homes or essential services; those caring for children in impoverished circumstances; those who have faced some personal setback and are being encouraged to start again.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

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 has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 60 years
