PENZANCE AND WEST PENWITH OLD PEOPLES WELFARE TRUST

Provision of Day Care facilities and Meals on Wheels for the elderly in Penzance and West Penwith
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
