THE AKRILL HOMES

Provide almshouses for elderly residents in West Bromwich
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants and contracts
  • There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

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