Armley Helping Hands is supports older people in deprived inner-city Leeds, We were set up in 1995, by a group of local people and community activists. They were concerned about the welfare of local older people. by providing a range of services, advice, support and varied social and healthy living activities, enabling older people to live independently and to pro-actively participate.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • 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
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
