FULHAM LEGAL ADVICE CENTRE 

The objects for which the Charity is established are to relieve poor persons resident or working within the area bounded by the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham and surrounding areas by providing such persons with legal advice services which they could not otherwise obtain through lack of means.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male
  • The Board composition appears to be very static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
