THE NORMAN BARNES FUND

The purpose of the Charity is the welfare of the aged in the area of the former County Borough of Rochdale. The Trustees shall not apply income of the Charity directly in relief of rates, taxes or other public funds but may apply income in supplementing relief or assistance provided out of public funds.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

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
