LGA FOUNDATION 

The object of the charity is to make grants for the benefit of the public for such charitable purposes as the trustees think fit. The trustees are particularly keen to support projects in the North East of England, reaching those most disadvantaged in the region. The charity has adopted a grant making policy and is actively seeking out charitable organisations which it might support.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 4 trustees

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
