AGEING WITHOUT CHILDREN 

AWOC supports those people who are ageing without children, for whatever reason, by raising the profile of the issues that face them and proposing solutions. We also support local AWOC groups across the country.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

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