THE EXTRACARE CHARITABLE TRUST 

To provide accommodation, an active lifestyle and an independent, safe and secure future for older people in need of a stimulating and supportive environment through the development and operation of a network of inspirational communities in supported housing schemes and retirement villages.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £305,160,000 available, equivalent to 54 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • There is a pension deficit of £6,613,000
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
