    THE CHARLES LANE TRUST 

    PROVISION OF SHELTERED ACCOMMODATION FOR THE NEEDY ELDERLEY
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Financial issues to consider:

    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
    • Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years
    • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
    • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
