THE CITY AND METROPOLITAN WELFARE CHARITY

The net income of the charity is to be applied for the benefit of deserving persons, with a strong preference for applications from registered small charities related to ex offenders and their families, and those associated with the City of London. The trustees have interpreted the geographical City of London requirement with some latitude. Small is defined as annual income or reserves under £3M

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity only provides its support via other charities
The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
