THE CONGLETON AND DISTRICT UNIVERSITY OF THE THIRD AGE 

Congleton U3A operates in the Congleton (Cheshire) area to encourage and facilitate educational and other activities, primarily aimed at retired and semi-retired individuals. The objective is for individuals with skills or expertise to share these (on a voluntary basis) with other members. The wide range of skills includes languages, dancing, handicrafts, sports and multiple educational subjects.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants
  • 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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • 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
