RIDLEY FAMILY CHARITY 

The Charity awards grants to constituted voluntary and community groups based and operating mainly, but not exclusively, within South East Northumberland
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There are only 3 trustees
  • 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
