Age UK Lambeth empowers older people to achieve a full quality of life by providing: good quality information, advice and advocacy; diverse services and support including befriending and carrying out minor repairs, improvements or adaptations to enable older people to maintain their independence; an extensive programme of activities to help older people achieve personal goals.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Financial issues to consider:

Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end

Attendees will improve physical and mental health, and learn exercises that do not require equipment, meaning they can continue after the groups, or self-fund the sessions to sustain them.
