AGE CONCERN CAMELFORD AND DISTRICT 

The Pop-in Centre provides social contact and refreshments in comfortable, friendly surroundings for six mornings a week for any person over 50. The Mini-bus serves folk with mobility problems or who are restricted for lack of public transport, taking them to larger towns and places of interest. We offer a door to door service, from the locality and surrounding villages.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
  • Income has been volatile recently but spending has been maintained
