Provide Living accomodation for the caretaker of the Foxham Reading Room.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • Income has been volatile recently but spending has been maintained
