PENSIONERS ALONE AT CHRISTMAS (HOUNSLOW)

Provides transport, lunch, tea, entertainment & gifts on Christmas day for pensioners residing within the Hounslow Borough who would otherwise be alone,
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

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