OUT TOGETHER

To promote social inclusion by working with people who are socially excluded on the grounds of their age and sexual orientation (in particular, elderly people who identify as LGBT plus) to relieve their needs and assist them to integrate into society, in particular by providing a networking group that encourages and enables members to participate more effectively in the wider community

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending since inception
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
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
