SHEPTON MALLET UNITED CHARITIES

The charity has twelve properties referred to as almshouses. The almshouses are for long-term residents of Shepton Mallet and immediate surrounds, preferably aged over 55 whose circumstances require a move to sheltered accommodation; if younger, a higher level of need has to be established.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
