SOUTHBOURNE AND DISTRICT AGE CONCERN 

The object of the CIO is to promote the welfare of the aged in any manner which now is or hereafter may be deemed by law to be charitable, within the parish of Southbourne, hereinafter called the ' area of benefit '
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly female
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
