THE LANGDON FOUNDATION

Langdon empowers Jewish adults with learning disabilities with the skills and opportunities to live independently in their community within a Jewish ethos.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are 13 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end but unrestricted reserves are available
