ST SCHOLASTICA'S RETREAT 

St Scholastica's Retreat is an almshouse for Catholics who are in need of financial assistance and who are aged 60 years and over. It was founded by Elizabeth Harrison in 1861 in Hackney and moved to Princes Risborough in 1972. The sheltered accommodation is provided in 36 self-contained flats. The Lord William Taylour Building provides a Community Room, Laundry & Kitchen; and a room for guests.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
Established: 61 years
