H.O.P.E. HALTON MOOR AND OSMONDTHORPE PROJECT FOR ELDERS

HOPE enables older people (60+) in the Halton Moor, Osmondthorpe & Sutton Park areas of Leeds to retain their independence by providing practical help/advice/support. We work to address the isolation, poverty, fear of crime & poor health which impact negatively on their lives. We provide outreach, advocacy, medical appoinment support and group sessions to relieve isolation and lonliness.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why is the Board completely female?

Financial issues to consider:

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