JIMMY MAC'S (ACTIVITY CENTRE FOR THE RETIRED AND DISABLED) 

A whole host of evening events and social gatherings, a lunch club, bingo, line dancing chair exercise and quizzes. We also go on outings, country pup lunches, day trips and holiday trips. Holiday trips now encombass both England.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely female

Financial issues to consider:

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