WHITTINGTON SENIOR CITIZENS CLUB

Social, sport and recreational activities for the over 50's from the village and surrounding area. We also provide a building for use by a new Youth Group and for other charities and locals to use.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
  • The Board is completely female

Financial issues to consider:

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