CIRENCESTER HOUSING FOR YOUNG PEOPLE 

CHYP funds supported, furnished housing for single young homeless people aged 16-25 years from the Cotswold District Council area. We have 11 bedrooms in 2 houses in Cirencester. We also run a charity shop in Cirencester.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There have been no income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 4 trustees

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Established: 36 years
