HARNHAM DAY CENTRE

We run a local day centre for older pensioners, some have disabilities. We open 2 days per week, 10.00am-3.00pm and aim to provide a cheerful and constructive day for members to meet, take part in activities and have a good lunch. We depend on volunteers and have two part time organisers.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
