THE KINGFISHER TRUST 2014 

The Kingfisher Trust 2014 provides day care for frail elderly people to enhance the quality of their lives, to enable them to continue living independently and to give respite to their carers.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • 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

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 was lower than spending in the latest year
