THE HENRY LONSDALE TRUST 

The object of the Charity is the relief of needy elderly people. The principal activity of the Charity is to provide high quality, professional residential care at two Homes for elderly persons of limited means at Rosehill and Barn Close, Carlisle. In addition, since 2016 the Charity has made grants to Age UK Carlisle and Eden to fund a Carlisle based information and advice officer.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly female
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end but unrestricted reserves are available
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
