Finance
Our income in 2010/2011 rose 20% to £25.9 million.
For the next year, we are pleased to have a new strategic funding agreement with the UK Department for International Development (DFID) and an increased grant from Age UK.
Our fundraising costs are negligable because we do not carry out public fundraising ourselves, but receive funds raised from the public by our affiliates.
HelpAge International Ethical Fundraising Policy
In determining HelpAge's ethical fundraising policy, its Board of Trustees is aware of the need to ensure an adequate and sustainable funding base. In accordance with charity law, HelpAge's Trustees have an obligation to maximise resources for the charity and, in turn, expenditure on activities that benefit the millions of poor older people around the world.
