KENSINGTON AND CHELSEA FORUM FOR OLDER RESIDENTS

Supporting older people in Kensington and Chelsea; promoting healthy living and lifestyles; encouraging community cohesion; reducing isolation among the older community; providing over 150 free activities annually which include physical, creative and mentally stimulating, learning and health-related activities focusing on prevention.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
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 well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board composition appears to be rather static

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 and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
