    The Trustees are permitted by the Governing Instrument to apply the income of the Charity for the purpose of relieving either generally or individually persons aged 60 years or more resident in the area of benefit (former borough of Glossop as constituted on the 18th May 1947) who are in conditions of need, hardship or distress.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
    • 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
    • Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
    • Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
