HECKINGTON ALMSHOUSE CHARITY 

The objective of the charity is to provide housing for poor people of at least 60 years of age resident in Heckington and certain defined villages
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

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
