WAR WIDOWS ASSOCIATION OF GREAT BRITAIN 

To improve conditions for War Widows and Widowers and to keep them informed of legislation that may affect them. To keep the government informed of their needs and circumstances.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending is declining
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 33 years
