BROADSTONE AGE CONCERN DAY CENTRE
We run a day centre on most Tuesdays. Part of the funding of the day centre comes from our charity shop (which only sells items donated by members & members of the public).
Objects
TO PROMOTE THE WELFARE OF THE AGED IN ANY MANNER WHICH NOW IS OR HEREAFTER MAY BE DEEMED BY LAW TO BE CHARITABLE WITHIN AND AROUND OR APPROXIMATE TO THE BOROUGH OF POOLE.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a deficit for the year ended 31 March 2025, resulting in unrestricted reserves decreasing to £28,972. The trustees consider this level of reserves prudent given the potential risks identified. The charity relies on volunteers for staffing and faces uncertainty regarding the future tenancy of its charity shop.
