COUNSEL AND CARE FOR THE ELDERLY 

COUNSEL AND CARE IS A NATIONAL CHARITY WORKING WITH OLDER PEOPLE, THEIR FAMILIES AND CARERS TO GET THE BEST CARE AND SUPPORT. AS PART OF INDEPENDENT AGE WE PROVIDE PERSONALISED, IN-DEPTH ADVICE AND INFORMATION, WHICH INFORMS OUR RESEARCH AND CAMPAIGNING
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely female
  • 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
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
miles
