ABINGDON LIONS CLUB CHARITABLE TRUST FUND

To assist and make donations to individuals and organisations locally, nationally and internationally.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • 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
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
