INDEPENDENT HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES (TANDRIDGE)
We provide housing opportunities for disabled people between the ages of 18 and 55, for up to 2 years to enable them to experience independent living and learn the essential skills to enable them to choose their housing options for the future.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a surplus of £19,468 for the year ended 31 March 2025, although the trustees note this position is artificially positive because certain payments due by year-end were processed in April 2025. The trustees describe the normal financial position as stable, despite noting that increased costs from the Registered Social Landlord have made funding total costs through Housing Benefit more difficult.
What the accounts disclose
“The capacity of Board members to actively oversee IHOT's activities in the last year has again been limited. This has meant the roles of Treasurer and Chairman - on an interim basis - have continued to be carried out by one person. The Board recognises this is not desirable or sustainable.” — page 4
“Due to the difficulty in holding Board meetings and the need to recruit new trustees it has (again) not been possible to transfer the assets and liabilities of IHOT to the separate CIO (1 188326), with the subsequent closure of the existing IHOT.” — page 4
