LEEDS AND MOORTOWN FURNITURE STORE LIMITED

The distribution of donated furniture to socially & economically dis-advantaged people in a non-discriminatory way. To work in partnership with other statutory, charitable & voluntary agencies.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 3 trustees?
  • Why is the Board completely male?
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income was lower than spending in the latest year
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
