AGE UK DACORUM

Age UK Dacorum works in partnership with other voluntary and statutory agencies to provide services for older people in Dacorum and the surrounding areas. Our purpose is to improve the quality of later life, by offering practical, emotional and social support. Also, to help people make informed choices so that they remain independent and can delay the need for more intensive support.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there only 3 trustees?
Why is the Board completely male?
The Board has little diversity in terms of age
