HELP4HOMELESSVETERANS

Our aim is to identify homeless Veterans living rough or in unsatisfactory accommodation. We then arrange suitable, sustainable accommodation in an individual or shared living environement,which ensures the candidate can access other relevant charities. A home provides a platform from which to access employment, medical, educational and other welfare benefits with the assistance of our charity

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of 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 recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
