SAMUEL WILSON'S LOAN CHARITY 

BENEFIT YOUNG PERSONS RECENTLY SET UP IN BUSINESS BY GRANTING LOANS AT A LOW RATE OF INTEREST.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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
  • Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
