KNOWLEDGE OF ENGLAND LTD

THE CHARITY EXISTS TO PROMOTE AWARENESS OF THE HISTORY AND CULTURE OF ENGLAND.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There are only 2 trustees
  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

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
