PORTSOKEN LODGE BENEVOLENT FUND

Provide relief to Lodge members, families and widows and make donations to recognised Masonic charities

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years, despite a decline more recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board is completely male
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
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
