The slim possibility of perceived harm to the residents of Morning Star House in becoming institutionalised is mitigated with procedures in place to reduce length of stay. The risk of becoming institutionalised in outweighed by the benefits of having accommodation. The beneficiaries of all our purposes are the residents of Morning Star House the families of the residents, the wider community and emergency services. There is no private benefit to the Management Committee and Trustees in their duties of running the charity.
