THE LORD MAYOR OF BIRMINGHAM'S CHARITY 

The objects of the Trust are to advance any charitable purpose and in particular to make contributions of both capital and income to the funds of any charitable body in furtherance of its work in the United Kingdom or to apply such capital and income to any charitable purpose as the Trustees think fit.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

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 recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
