THE ODIHAM CONSOLIDATED CHARITIES 

The main activity of the charity is to run the Almshouses at Gurney Court, Benford Court and The Old Court, Odiham. In addition to running these Almshouses, the Trustees seek to fulfil the wishes of their benefactors by relieving need in the Parish and by making donations to three local schools in the form of library grants.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are 15 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
