THE TOGETHER PROJECT CIO

The Together Project runs activities linking different age groups in order to reduce loneliness and strengthen community connections. These include in-person events, such as music groups in care homes and storytelling groups in libraries, as well as friendships formed through the post via a penpal scheme. The charity also offers training and consultancy and operates on a national scale.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

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