GEORGE TOWNSEND CHARITY FOR WIDOWS AND SPINSTERS

Provision of subsidised housing / accommodation for widows, spinsters and divorcees aged 45 or over, in Leicester & Leicestershire

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
