    BROMSGROVE DAY CENTRE

    The day centre promotes the welfare of elderly people in Faringdon and district. We meet twice weekly to provide services (including freshly cooked lunches) and activities (such as outings, gentle exercise, speakers, games and similar) particularly aimed at elderly people identified by GPs and social workers as able to benefit from attendance at the centre.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
    • 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

    Financial issues to consider:

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