    PAINTING OUR WORLD IN SILVER 

    A monthly get-together hosted for the elderly on the third Wednesday of the month at the Village Hall in Whiteley Village, Walton on Thames, Surrey. The event starts at 10am and finishes at midday and is open to everyone. During Covid 19, our monthly groups have stopped (March20) and we are now delivering craft care packages to our seniors as well as vulnerable seniors in Isolation.
    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

    Financial issues to consider:

    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
    • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
