AGE CONCERN BARNSTAPLE AND DISTRICT ASSOCIATION 

We enguived about omitting 'counselling' and 'advice' from 306 & 307.Since these words must remain we would make it clear that we do not offer any services under these two headings.The object of the Association shall be to promote the relief of elderly people in any manner which now is or hereafter may be deemed by law to be charitable within Barnstaple and the surrounding area.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • 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
