THE ABBEYFIELD GLOUCESTERSHIRE SOCIETY LIMITED 

Providing accommodation and support for elderly people in Cheltenham.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

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
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
