THE FLETCHER CHARITY 

Provision of affordable housing to people over 60 who are poor and have lived in Dewsbury for at least 20 years.
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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
