HERRING HOUSE TRUST (GREAT YARMOUTH) 

To provide emergency accommodation and resettlement support to single homeless people in Great Yarmouth
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £1,873,885 available, equivalent to 26 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
Established: 28 years
