GEORGE PEABODY DONATION FUND

Peabody's mission is to make London a city of opportunity for all by ensuring as many people as possible have a good home, a real sense of purpose and a strong feeling of belonging. It achieves this through the provision of affordable housing (as a Registered Provider) and community regeneration and personal development activities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity uses a corporate trustee
  • Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

  • Spending is declining
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
