THE OCTOBER CLUB

Day Centre for people in the local area suffering from Dementia/Alzheimer's so giving their families/carer much needed respite.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Why are there only 3 trustees?
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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