INSPIRE HOUNSLOW

Provide or assist in social welfare for the benefit of people who live, work or study in the London borough of Hounslow, including those who have special need of such facilities by reason of their youth, disability or social or economic circumstances, with the object of improving their conditions of life
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

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
