THE ALSAGER & DISTRICT UNIVERSITY OF THE THIRD AGE

Educational and recreational activities aimed at improving the physical, mental and social welfare of people no longer in full time employment in the Alsager and surrounding district.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
