OUR PLACE

We provide social sessions for older people, adults, carers and the person they care for across Calderdale at 3 weekly sessions. We provide a 2 course meal, activities to promote physical and mental wellbeing, entertainment, refreshments and days out with transport for those who need it, in a safe community space with a great team of volunteers

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

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 has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
