IRISH COMMUNITY CARE MANCHESTER

Throughout Greater Manchester we run social groups for the over 50s. We also run one to one advice sessions in relation to benefits applications and provide advice for those trying to get Irish government documentation.We have an outreach worker who works with the Irish traveler population in the region and we provide for the burial of persons of Irish descent who have no next of kin.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and 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
Income was lower than spending in the latest year

Established: 8 years
