DEWSBURY AND DISTRICT THIRD AGE 

The Third Age provides friendly informal classes to the public. This year there have been 34 classes held in the Dewsbury District. Since the classes are held during the day most of the members are retired or part time workers.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests 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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
