THE GERONTIUS AMENITY FUND 

We send money to Sierra Leone where our administrator, Hannah Lassayo, pays hospital bills for poor people. E.g. after collecting our Abingdon sale money (?93.95) Hanah sadly was injured (RTA) She went to Hospital where she met a mother in tears bacause her daughter with typhoid and malaria urgently needed a blood transfusion but the mother had no money. "We shall pay" said Hannah so we did! (?90)
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
