SLEAFORD CARING TRUST

The Befriending Scheme provides simple genuine friendships for those aged 70 or over from committed and caring people willing to give an hour or so a week to their befriendee. The charity responds to the high demand for community-based opportunities for social contact amongst older people so as to reduce and prevent the isolation experienced by many people as they grow into old age.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be very static

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
