ALDHAM COMMON

"relieving either generally or individually persons resident in the Parish of Hadleigh who are in conditions of need, hardship or distress by making grants of money or providing or paying for items, services or facility calculated to reduce the need, hardship or distress of such persons."
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
