ANCIENT CHARITIES OF HERTFORD

The Charity distributes grants to individuals in financial need in Hertford and the parishes of the rural district. Nominees come from local organizations such as the CAB, Social Services, NHS Primary Care trust and the local churches. The grants can be released very quickly on the verbal agreement of 3 trustees and the grants are later formally approved at a trustee meeting.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

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 has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
