LIONS CLUB OF BRIDGEND CHARITABLE TRUST FUND 

The Charitable Trust Fund receives funds raised via the Lions Club of Bridgend and donates them to deserving causes.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board composition appears to be very 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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
