HAM AND PETERSHAM SOS

To promote the relief of the elderly, disabled, housebound or socially isolated persons in and around Ham and Petersham, primarily but not exclusively through the provision of a transport service, shopping service and outings.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • The Board is predominantly male

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
