THE CITY AND METROPOLITAN WELFARE CHARITY

With the formal approval of the Charity Commission, the charity is winding itself up, and the trustees have agreed the other charities to which it is now (October 2024) dispersing its capital endowment. Consequently the City and Metropolitan Welfare Charity has effectively closed down and is no longer accepting applications for grants.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity only provides its support via other charities
The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
