ISLINGTON UNITED CHARITIES 

To assist those in need in the former Metropolitan Borough of Islington through an annual distribution of food vouchers through local churches, charities, organisations and local Councillors
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
