BUDDIES DEMENTIA CAFE

Buddies Dementia Cafe is for people living with dementia and their carers. We meet every first and third Thursday of the month between 10.00am and 12.00noon where we provide entertainment, refreshments, advice and friendship in a safe and secure environment. We also provide trips and meals out. The meetings are held at Nettleham Village Hall, Brookfield Avenue, Nettleham, LN22SS.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • There have been no income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why is the Board completely female?

Financial issues to consider:

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