ABBEYFIELD COTSWOLD LTD 

Provides family style very sheltered accommodation for elderly people. A redsident Housekeeper living next door cooks two meals a day and provides some support to the residents. Personal care is not provided and residents are expected to be described as living independantly.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 3 trustees
  • The Board has little diversity 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
  • Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
