ELIZABETH HOUSE COOKHAM

Our aim is to provide support and companionship for the independent senior citizens of Cookham and the surrounding areas. We are a Day Centre where members come to share the company of others in a happy, fun and safe environment, to have a cooked lunch and to have the opportunity to enjoy stimulating physical and mental activities and be entertained by musicians and other live artists.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

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
