AGE CONCERN (AGE UK) ASHFORD LTD

Support for the over 50 to remain independent, learn new skills and take an active part in the wider community

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 including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 2 trustees
The Board is completely male
The Board composition appears to be very static and 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
Income has been volatile recently but spending has been maintained
