THE BEXHILL SENIOR CITIZENS' CLUB 

Provide social, educational and physical activities for senior citizens and a safe, comfortable place where members can meet with other like-minded people in the local area, relieve isolation and loneliness.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • The Board is predominantly female

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
