SENIOR SOLUTIONS

Senior Solutions has been helping older people in Westhoughton and the surrounding districts, since 1997. Through our dedicated team of volunteers and staff, we work to prevent the damaging effects of loneliness and social isolation.

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 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
