THE RALLI HALL LUNCH & SOCIAL CLUB

To run a lunch and social club for elderly residents of Brighton & Hove so as to provide them with recreational, ?keep-fit? and cultural activities, together with a kosher meals service.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely male
  • 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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
