CARING ALTOGETHER ON ROMNEY MARSH (CARM)

CARM operates across Romney Marsh and parts of rural Ashford in Kent. Our services aim to reduce social isolation and improve access to services for older and vulnerable people. We offer 10 social drop-ins (Meeting Points), befriending services and reminiscence services: Our Memories Matter, Musical Memories Matter and Caring to Remember.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been strong growth in spending since inception
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:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

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
