LEICESTER AND LEICESTERSHIRE WAR MEMORIAL FOUNDATION 

To build, equip, endow & maintain dwelling houses for disabled or otherwise afflicted Leicestershire veterans of the Armed Forces, Merchant Navy and Civil Defence forces of The Crown, their families and dependents.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely male

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
