THE CHARLES LANE TRUST

PROVISION OF SHELTERED ACCOMMODATION FOR THE NEEDY ELDERLEY
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Latest return is overdue

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
