CONTACT: SELSDON CHURCHES NEIGHBOURHOOD CARE 

We aim to provide practical help, advice, support and information to people living in Selsdon and surrounding areas through a large network of volunteers. One of our major activities is to help the older members of our community to stay in their own homes for as long as possible by the provision of good neighbour type activities
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
