THE GOOD COMPANY PEOPLE

The Good Company People carries out its purposes by providing relief to (a) people who are experiencing loneliness and social isolation and/or experiencing cognitive changes, living with dementia or other disabilities and (b) to their informal carers. Our beneficiaries will usually be over the age of 65 but TGCP does not limit its services solely to the elderly.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

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