AGE CONCERN MANCHESTER

In pursuit of the "relief of elderly people" "in and around the City of Manchester", the organisation aims not only to provide direct assistance through its own service structure, but also seeks to influence the nature, style, client group and location of services provided by others, particularly the statutory agencies with responsibilities for meeting the needs of Manchester's older people.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
