NORTHERN LADIES ANNUITY SOCIETY 

Relief of poverty by giving assistance to governesses and other ladies who meet the Society's criteria. Providing annuities, grants and subsidised accomodation for ladies in reduced circumstances
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is completely female
  • 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
