THE LAWRENCE CENTRE

We provide day opportunities for older people including those living with memory loss and other health issues. We are open 5 days a week and 1 Saturday a month with up to 20 people a day attending. Our main aim is to help prevent social isolation and give family carers a break. We also provide an outreach service to promote physical and mental wellbeing and companionship.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Latest accounts are overdue for filing

Established: 12 years
