GREATER THAME U3A 

To encourage and enable older people no longer in full-time paid employment to help each other share their knowledge, skills, interests and experience.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 19 years
