ROBERT OWEN COMMUNITIES 

To provide services to persons with learning disabilities and others who have a charitable need for such services, focused on care, accommodation and support, education and training, and the ongoing welfare and development of the individual.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 2 trustees
  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static and has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • This charity appears to be dormant
