ISLINGTON PENSIONERS' FORUM

We campaign on behalf of pensioners. Give advice through our monthly newsletter, have monthly town hall meetings with prominent speakers on wide subjects, organise day trips, participate in other events such as fund raising for worthy causes, signpost to older people's services, and also campaign in support of the National Pensioners Convention.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
There are only 2 trustees

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 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
