HEDGER'S ALMSHOUSES

Provision and maintenance of a group of 8 dwelling houses for the use of elderly women of limited means and in need of semi-sheltered housing.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
