THE BERROW COTTAGE HOMES

Provision of social housing by way of almshouses

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received Government grants and contracts
There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of 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
