    Until 31.1.22, provided 24 hour residential care for 28 elderly residents. One this date all assets and activities were transferred to Abbeyfield Wey Valley Society.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • The charity has received backing from a grant maker

    Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

    • Over half the Board have joined recently

    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
