THE LONDON SHIPOWNERS' AND SHIPBROKERS' BENEVOLENT SOCIETY 

Helping those who are or have been employed in the business of ship-owning and shipbroking, and who are in necessitous circumstances, and their widows dependants.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 2 trustees
  • The Board is completely male
  • Latest return is overdue

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 and returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
