BARTON ROAD CENTRE 

The main aim of the Barton Road Centre CIO is to address and improve the health and wellbeing of people (primarily) in South Lancaster; to promote and develop intergenerational relations and generally to support our aging local people to live independently in our community for as long as they are able.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently

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
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing
Established: 5 years
