PENHILL LUNCH CLUB 

PROVIDING A WEEKLY LUNCH SERVICE TO 30 PENSIONERS IN A SAFE AND FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT IN PENHILL SWINDON
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased 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 and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and 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
