BAMPTON BUSH CENTRE

The Bush Centre is a day centre for the elderly inhabitants of Bampton and surrounding villages. It meets weekly and provides a hot two course meal as well as morning coffee and afternoon tea. A variety of talks, musical entertainment and outings support social stimulation.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very 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:

The Board has little diversity in terms of age

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
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
