THE BACKHAM ALMSHOUSES 

Backham Almshouses are for a man, a woman or a married couple, who have lived in the Borough of King's Lynn, for a total of twenty one years. Must be of pensionable age.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • 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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
