THE HELEN JEAN COPE CHARITY

THE OBJECTS OF THE CHARITY ARE TO DISTRIBUTE THE CHARITIES ASSETS TO LOCAL CHARITABLE CAUSES WHICH MUST BE REGISTERED CHARITIES.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity only provides its support via other charities
  • The Board is predominantly male
  • The Board composition appears to be rather 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
  • Spending is declining
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
