BASINGSTOKE NEIGHBOURCARE

Enhance older people's independence: volunteer car drivers transport people with limited mobility AND in genuine need to a range of medical appointments and to social activities, ensuring a safe return home. Charity also offers a befriending service for lonely and isolated older members of the community. We also run Community Cafes and a Handyperson Service (simple jobs in the home and garden).

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
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
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

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 was lower than spending in the latest year
