PENNU CHARITY

To relieve the needs of and to promote the good health and well-being of the elderly (Senior Citizens) in the United Kingdom by charitable means (charitable under English law) as the director see fit from time to time for public benefit

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

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
