Following the decision to seek a merger with a larger charity operating in the same sector, Contact the Elderly was identified as a charity which shares very similar charity objectives to our own. During the year ended 31 March 2018 the whole of the charity's net assets were donated to Contact the Elderly. We anticipate that a similar transfer will take place each year.
