CITY OF WELLS ALMSHOUSES CIO 

Provision of housing for single people over 50 who are in housing need and live in or around the City of Wells or who have a strong connection to the City.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • 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
  • This charity appears to be dormant
