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 and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
There are only 2 trustees
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
Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year

This project will be re-establishing and expanding on activities the organisation provided before pre-pandemic and the death of their chairman. The project aims to provide an essential social outlet and lifeline to their members many of whom have no alternative opportunities to make and sustain friendships. This project will enhance the mental health and wellbeing of participants.
