THE SPROUGHTON ALMSHOUSE AND RELIEF IN NEED CHARITY 

Letting and maintenance of two alms houses in Sproughton village. Provision of grants to relieve hardship.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
