FRIENDS OF KENSINGTON DAY CENTRE 

Organizing local lectures and other events to raise money to support the Kensington Day Centre and its members, including providing activities and holidays for members and undertaking improvements to the centre.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is predominantly female

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 4 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
