THE MILLS CHARITY

Provide for people in Framlingham and the surrounding area, assistance for those in need, hardship, or distress, provide and maintain the Almshouses and assist with other projects which are for the general benefit of the inhabitants of Framlingham and surrounding area.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
